On the default hierarchy (cgroup2), the throttle interface files don't
exist in the root cgroup, so the ablity to limit the whole system
by configuring root group is not existing anymore. In general, cgroup
doesn't wanna be in the business of restricting resources at the
system level, so correct the stale comment that we can limit whole
system to we can only limit subtree.

* If on the default hierarchy, we switch to properly hierarchical
* behavior where limits on a given throtl_grp are applied to the
* whole subtree rather than just the group itself. e.g. If 16M
- * read_bps limit is set on the root group, the whole system can't
- * exceed 16M for the device.
+ * read_bps limit is set on a parent group, summary bps of
+ * parent group and its subtree groups can't exceed 16M for the
+ * device.
*
* If not on the default hierarchy, the broken flat hierarchy
* behavior is retained where all throtl_grps are treated as if
