powerpc/tm: Fix HTM documentation
This patch simply fix part of the documentation on the HTM code. This fixes reference to old fields that were renamed in commit 000ec280e3dd ("powerpc: tm: Rename transct_(*) to ck(\1)_state") It also documents better the flow after commit eb5c3f1c8647 ("powerpc: Always save/restore checkpointed regs during treclaim/trecheckpoint"), where tm_recheckpoint can recheckpoint what is in ck{fp,vr}_state blindly. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Acked-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
