new 192ac6d3fbc sched: Correct the stale pthread_entry_s comment.
192ac6d3fbc is described below
commit 192ac6d3fbc06192c3683e0409b11aee41266cf7

sched: Correct the stale pthread_entry_s comment.
include/nuttx/sched.h still carried a comment header naming
struct pthread_tcb_s, plus a paragraph about separate TCB forms for
tasks and pthreads. Neither structure exists: pthreads use the
common struct tcb_s and keep their startup arguments in a
struct pthread_entry_s appended after it.

-/* This is the particular form of the task control block (TCB) structure used
- * by pthreads. There are two TCB forms: one for pthreads and one for tasks.
- * Both share the common TCB fields (which must appear at the top of the
- * structure) plus additional fields unique to tasks and threads.
- * Having separate structures for tasks and pthreads adds some complexity,
- * but saves memory in that it prevents pthreads from being burdened with
- * the overhead required for tasks (and vice versa).
+/* pthread startup parameters. This structure is appended to the TCB and
+ * fetched with (FAR struct pthread_entry_s *)(tcb + 1). Pthreads thus
+ * share the common struct tcb_s and need no TCB type of their own.
