[PATCH RFP-V4 02/13] Fix comment about remap_file_pages

[Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso]

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>

This comment is a bit unclear and also stale. So fix it. Thanks to Hugh Dickins
for explaining me what it really referred to, and correcting my first fix.
