That went into the tree back in 2005; the comment used to be true for predecessor of simple_fill_super() that happened to live in nfsd; that one didn't take care to skip the array entries with NULL ->name, so it could not tolerate any gaps. That had been fixed in 2003 when nfsd_fill_super() had been abstracted into simple_fill_super(); if Neil's patch lived out of tree during that time, he probably replaced the name of function when rebasing it and didn't notice that restriction in question was no longer there.
