[PATCH v1] mm, hwpoison: remove obsolete comment

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Mon Jan 24 2022 - 22:16:48 EST


From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx>

With the introduction of mf_mutex, most of memory error handling
process is mutually exclusive, so the in-line comment about
subtlety about double-checking PageHWPoison is no more correct.
So remove it.
