mm: khugepaged: better comments for anon vma check in hugepage_vma_revalidate
The hugepage_vma_revalidate() needs to check if the vma is still anonymous
vma or not since the address may be unmapped then remapped to file before
khugepaged reaquired the mmap_lock.
The old comment is not quite helpful, elaborate this with better comment.
