timers: Fix documentation for schedule_timeout() and similar The documentation for schedule_timeout(), schedule_hrtimeout(), and schedule_hrtimeout_range() all claim that the routines couldn't possibly return early if the task state was TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. This is simply not true since wake_up_process() will cause those routines to exit early. We cannot make schedule_[hr]timeout() loop until the timeout expires if the task state is uninterruptible because we have users which rely on the existing and designed behaviour. Make the documentation match the (correct) implementation. schedule_hrtimeout() returns -EINTR even when a uninterruptible task was woken up. This might look strange, but making the return code depend on the state is too much of an effort as it would affect all the call sites. There is no value in doing so, but we spell it out clearly in the documentation.
