[PATCH] ring-buffer: remove obsolete comment for free_buffer_page()

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Wed Mar 15 2023 - 10:25:14 EST


The comment refers to mm/slob.o which is being removed. It comes from
commit ed56829cb319 ("ring_buffer: reset buffer page when freeing") and
according to Steven the borrowed code was a page mapcount and mapping
reset, which was later removed by commit e4c2ce82ca27 ("ring_buffer:
allocate buffer page pointer"). Thus the comment is not accurate anyway,
remove it.
