The ioctl name and description on the documentation block don't
match the ioctl being defined. This was probably overlooked while
renaming the ioctls during the sync file destaging. This patch
provides a more accurate description of what the ioctl actually does.

This is something I saw while refreshing my kselftest patches. Hopefully
this patch describes the new ioctl well enough, let me know if you
think it doesn't :)
Cheers,
Emilio
