[PATCH] trivial: helpful task_struct remarks

From: Geunsik Lim
Date: Wed Aug 17 2011 - 09:36:59 EST


From: Geunsik Lim <geunsik.lim@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This is trivial patch for helpful description of task_struct elements.
'???' remark is not good as a description of data structure.
And, append description information about the meanings of pid and tgid.
