mm,hugetlb: drop obsolete comment about non-present pte and second faults

There is a comment in hugetlb_fault() that does not hold anymore.  This
one:

 /*
  * vmf.orig_pte could be a migration/hwpoison vmf.orig_pte at this
  * point, so this check prevents the kernel from going below assuming
  * that we have an active hugepage in pagecache. This goto expects
  * the 2nd page fault, and is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned)
  * check will properly handle it.
  */

This was written because back in the day we used to do:

 hugetlb_fault () {
  ptep = huge_pte_offset(...)
  if (ptep) {
    entry = huge_ptep_get(ptep)
    if (unlikely(is_hugetlb_entry_migration(entry))
        ...
    else if (unlikely(is_hugetlb_entry_hwpoisoned(entry)))
        ...
  }

  ...
  ...

  /*
   * entry could be a migration/hwpoison entry at this point, so this
   * check prevents the kernel from going below assuming that we have
   * a active hugepage in pagecache. This goto expects the 2nd page fault,
   * and is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check will properly
   * handle it.
   */
  if (!pte_present(entry))
          goto out_mutex;
  ...
 }

The code was designed to check for hwpoisoned/migration entries upfront,
and then bail out if further down the pte was not present anymore, relying
on the second fault to properly handle migration/hwpoison entries that
time around.

The way we handle this is different nowadays, so drop the misleading
comment.
