[PATCH v12 09/14] block: modify the comment for BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH flag


From: Andrey Shinkevich
Subject: [PATCH v12 09/14] block: modify the comment for BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH flag
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 21:13:38 +0300

Modify the comment for the flag BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH as we are going to
use it alone and pass it to the COR-filter driver for further
processing.
