mm: hwpoison: remove incorrect comments
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() can be called without page lock hold, so let's remove incorrect comment. The reason why the page lock is not really needed is that dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() checks page_huge_active() inside hugetlb_lock, which allows us to avoid trying to dequeue a hugepage that are just allocated but not linked to active list yet, even without taking page lock.
