The original comment contained profanity to express the frustration of
dealing with a complex and resource-constrained code path. While the
sentiment is understandable, the language is unprofessional and
unnecessary.
Replace it with a more neutral and descriptive comment that maintains
the original technical context and conveys the difficulty of the
situation without the use of offensive language.

Sorry, but this signed-off is not valid:

Should we consider applying such patches at all? There are tons of such
comments, mostly in old code, while I highly doubt it may "offense" anyone.
