David Hildenbrand (Red Hat) baa198a934 mm/hugetlb: fix two comments related to huge_pmd_unshare() 
commit 3937027cae upstream.

Ever since we stopped using the page count to detect shared PMD page
tables, these comments are outdated.

The only reason we have to flush the TLB early is because once we drop the
i_mmap_rwsem, the previously shared page table could get freed (to then
get reallocated and used for other purpose).  So we really have to flush
the TLB before that could happen.

So let's simplify the comments a bit.

The "If we unshared PMDs, the TLB flush was not recorded in mmu_gather."
part introduced as in commit a4a118f2ee ("hugetlbfs: flush TLBs
correctly after huge_pmd_unshare") was confusing: sure it is recorded in
the mmu_gather, otherwise tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() wouldn't do anything.
So let's drop that comment while at it as well.

We'll centralize these comments in a single helper as we rework the code
next.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
