[PATCH v2 2/3] block: Correct comment for scale_cookie_change

From: Kemeng Shi <hidden>
Date: 2022-10-18 11:12:57
Also in: linux-block, lkml
Subsystem: block layer, control group - block io controller (blkio), the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Tejun Heo, Josef Bacik, Linus Torvalds

Default queue depth of iolatency_grp is unlimited, so we scale down
quickly(once by half) in scale_cookie_change. Remove the "subtract
1/16th" part which is not the truth and add the actual way we
scale down.
