[PATCH 5/5] futex: Correct the kernedoc return value for futex_wait_setup()
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Fri May 16 2025 - 12:04:59 EST
The kerneldoc for futex_wait_setup() states it can return "0" or "<1".
This isn't true because the error case is "<0" not less than 1.
Document that <0 is returned on error. Drop the possible return values
and state possible reasons.
