Subject: mm/swapfile: delete outdated pte_offset_map() comment
Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2023 23:50:00 -0700 (PDT)
Delete a triply out-of-date comment from add_swap_count_continuation():
1. vmalloc_to_page() changed from pte_offset_map() to pte_offset_kernel()
2. pte_offset_map() changed from using kmap_atomic() to kmap_local_page()
3. kmap_atomic() changed from using fixed FIX_KMAP addresses in 2.6.37.
