There were few lock dep warnings because btrfs_show_devname() was using
device_list_mutex as recorded in the commits
ccd05285e7f (btrfs: fix a possible umount deadlock)
779bf3fefa8 (btrfs: fix lock dep warning, move scratch dev out of
device_list_mutex and uuid_mutex)
And finally, commit 88c14590cdd6 (btrfs: use RCU in btrfs_show_devname
for device list traversal) removed the device_list_mutex from
btrfs_show_devname for performance reasons.
This patch fixes a stale comment about the function btrfs_show_devname.
