Description of changes

I read this comment, checked out 4.19, saw that it didn't have any instances of /bin/pwd, and rejoiced, assuming that the removal must have been backported to the affected kernels. But actually, /bin/pwd was just removed earlier, in 4.15, so kernels older than that are still affected.

Fix the version number in the comment so I don't go through exactly the same process again a few months from now next time I'm working on this file.
