Let's drop it.

Ah, how about dropping this comment in mm/slab.c:slab_destroy() as well?

                /*
                 * RCU free overloads the RCU head over the LRU.
                 * slab_page has been overloeaded over the LRU,
                 * however it is not used from now on so that
                 * we can use it safely.
                 */
