Update comments in ldconfig.c and dl-hwcaps.c.
In dl-hwcaps.c the comment read that rounding was done to ElfW(Addr), but it's actually rounded to ElfW(Word). In ldconfig.c we make each comment a sentence and mention that the "tls" pseudo-hwcap is just for legacy installations where TLS was optional. --- 2013-05-22 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> * elf/ldconfig.c (is_hwcap_platform): Make comments full setences. (main): Mention "tls" pseudo-hwcap is legacy. * elf/dl-hwcaps.c (_dl_important_hwcaps): Correct rounding comment.
