[binutils-gdb] Cleanup value_fetch_lazy's comment and return value


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=a844296a982bdff7c14dab355de0fca75486add6

commit a844296a982bdff7c14dab355de0fca75486add6
Author: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@ericsson.com>

    Cleanup value_fetch_lazy's comment and return value
    
    The comment for value_fetch_lazy seems outdated. It says that it's only
    called from the value_contents and value_contents_all (macros!), which
    is not true.  Also, the return value seems useless now, despite what the
    comment says.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* value.c (value_fetch_lazy): Update comment, change return
    	value to void.
    	* value.h (value_fetch_lazy): Change return value to void.
