I think this comment change is a dis-improvement. It's removed the
documentation of the important fact that INSTR_TIME_GET_MICROSEC and
INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC return a different data type from
INSTR_TIME_GET_MILLISEC (ie, integer versus float). Also, the
expectation is that users of these APIs do not know the actual data
type of instr_time, and instead we tell them what the output of those
macros is. This patch just blew a hole in that abstraction.
