[PATCH v2 06/19] lib/stackdepot: fix and clean-up atomic annotations

[andrey.konovalov@linux.dev]

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

Simplify comments accompanying the use of atomic accesses in the
stack depot code.

Also drop smp_load_acquire from next_pool_required in depot_init_pool,
as both depot_init_pool and the all smp_store_release's to this variable
are executed under the stack depot lock.

Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

This patch is not strictly required, as the atomic accesses are fully
removed in one of the latter patches. However, I decided to keep the
patch just in case we end up needing these atomics in the following
iterations of this series.

Changes v1->v2:
- Minor comment fix as suggested by Marco.
- Drop READ_ONCE marking for next_pool_required.
