[PATCH v2] lib: radix_tree: Fix error in docs about locks

From: Adam Barth
Date: Mon Dec 21 2015 - 18:04:44 EST


This text refers to the "first 7 functions", which was correct when
written but became incorrect when Johannes Weiner added another function
to the list in 139e561660fe ("lib: radix_tree: tree node interface").

Remove the sentence because it doesn't add any additional information
and would need to be updated each time the list changes.

Changes in v2:
- Removed the sentence entirely, as suggested by derRichard.
