sched: clarify commment for TS_POLLING

TS_POLLING set tells the scheduler an idle_task will poll
need_resched() to look for work.

TS_POLLING clear tells resched_task() and wake_up_idle_cpu()
that the remote CPU's idle_task is now sleeping in idle,
and thus requires a reschedule interrupt notice work.

Update the description of TS_POLLING to reflect how it works.
"idle task polling need_resched, skip sending interrupt"
