Confused.  This adds comments which are similar to the ones which were
added by
mm-hugetlb-compute-return-the-number-of-regions-added-by-region_add-v2.patch
and
mm-hugetlb-handle-races-in-alloc_huge_page-and-hugetlb_reserve_pages-v2.patch.
But the comments are a bit different.  And this patch madly conflicts
with the two abovementioned patches.

Maybe the thing to do is to start again, with a three-patch series:

mm-hugetlb-document-the-reserve-map-region-tracking-routines.patch
mm-hugetlb-compute-return-the-number-of-regions-added-by-region_add-v3.patch
mm-hugetlb-handle-races-in-alloc_huge_page-and-hugetlb_reserve_pages-v3.patch

while resolving the differences in the new code comments?
