[PATCH] mm: powerpc ptlock comments
Update comments (only) on page_table_lock and mmap_sem in arch/powerpc.
Removed the comment on page_table_lock from hash_huge_page: since it's no
longer taking page_table_lock itself, it's irrelevant whether others are; but
how it is safe (even against huge file truncation?) I can't say.
