Subject: mm: pgtable: correct the wrong comment about ptdesc->__page_flags

Patch series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc".
In this series, the [PATCH 1/3] and [PATCH 2/3] are fixes for some issues
discovered during code inspection.
The [PATCH 3/3] is a supplement to ptdesc conversion in s390, I don't know
why this is not done in the commit 6326c26c1514 ("s390: convert various
pgalloc functions to use ptdescs"), maybe I missed something. And since I
don't have an s390 environment, I hope kernel test robot can help compile
and test, and this is why I did not fold [PATCH 2/3] and [PATCH 3/3] into
one patch.
This patch (of 3):
The commit 32cc0b7c9d50 ("powerpc: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables
sharing page") introduced the use of PageActive flag to page table
fragments tracking, so the ptdesc->__page_flags is not unused, so correct
the wrong comment.
