Dear Trivial Patch Monkey, 

This commit fixes a small documentaion problem reported in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194593.

Some fields in the file /proc/$pid/stat represent time.
Their units are clock_t, not jiffies as stated in the documentation.

We certainly don't need to give the bugzilla URL twice; I'm not
convinced it's needed even once.  The changelog should just say what the
patch does, please.

Also, "clock_t" isn't really a unit type; what are the actual units of
the field?

...and the signoff need to have your full name, please.

Thanks,
