percpu: fix a comment about the chunks ordering
Since the commit 3e54097beb22 ("percpu: manage chunks based on contig_bits instead of free_bytes") chunks are sorted based on the size of the biggest continuous free area instead of the total number of free bytes. Update the corresponding comment to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennis@kernel.org>
