Remove a confusing comment on our local_flush_tlb_all()
implementation. Per an internal discussion with Andrew, while it's
true that the fence.i is not necessary, it's not the case that an
sfence.vma implies a fence.i. We also drop the section about
"flush[ing] the entire local TLB" to better align with the language in
section 4.2.1 "Supervisor Memory-Management Fence Instruction" of the
RISC-V Privileged Specification v20190608.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
