Subject: [RFC PATCH] memalloc_noio: update the comment to make it cleaner

From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@redhat.com>

The GFP_NOIO means all further allocations will implicitly drop
both __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS flags and so they are safe for both the
IO critical section and the the critical section from the allocation
recursion point of view. Not only the __GFP_IO, which a bit confusing
when reading the code or using the save/restore pair.
