Subject[PATCH v1] mm, hwpoison: remove obsolete comment
Date
From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@nec.com>

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.
