Subject: [PATCH 1/1] KVM: x86: remove incorrect comment on active_mmu_pages

The 'mmu_page_hash' is used as hash table while 'active_mmu_pages' is a
list. This patch removes the incorrect comment on active_mmu_pages.

Maybe change the last sentence to "Remove the misplaced comment, it's mostly
stating the obvious anyways." It's more misplaced than flat out incorrect, e.g.
the alternative would be to hoist the comment above mmu_page_hash. I like
removing it though, IMO mmu_page_hash is the most obvious name out of the
various structures that track shadow pages.

With that tweak:

Thank you very much!

I will change the last sentence and send v2 with your Reviewed-by.
