runtime: improve comment about non-preemption during GC work
Currently, gcDrainN is documented saying that it must be run on the system stack. In fact, the problem and solution here are somewhat subtler. First, it doesn't have to happen on the system stack, it just has to be non-stoppable (that is, non-preemptible). Second, this isn't specific to gcDrainN (though gcDrainN is perhaps the most surprising instance); it's general to anything that uses the gcWork structure. Move the comment to gcWork and generalize it. Change-Id: I5277b5abb070e47f8d783bc15a310b379c6adc22 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/8247Reviewed-by: Rick Hudson <rlh@golang.org>
