Subject: [PATCH v2 6/8] mm/huge_memory: remove stale NUMA hinting comment from follow_trans_huge_pmd()
Date:   Tue,  1 Aug 2023 14:48:42 +0200

That comment for pmd_protnone() was added in commit 2b4847e73004
("mm: numa: serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migration"), which
noted:

	THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration
	entries at a PMD level.  This allows races with get_user_pages

Nowadays, we do have PMD migration entries, so the comment no longer
applies. Let's drop it.
