Subject: mm, hwpoison: cleanup some obsolete comments

1.Remove meaningless comment in kill_proc(). That doesn't tell anything.
2.Fix the wrong function name get_hwpoison_unless_zero(). It should be
get_page_unless_zero().
3.The gate keeper for free hwpoison page has moved to check_new_page().
Update the corresponding comment.
