[PATCH] mm: compaction: update comment about zone lock in isolate_freepages_block

From: Jerome Marchand
Date: Fri Aug 30 2013 - 10:07:42 EST


Since commit f40d1e4 (mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lock as late as
possible), isolate_freepages_block() takes the zone->lock itself. The
function description however still states that the zone->lock must be
held.
This patch removes this outdated statement.
