4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3b3a9268bba62b35a29bafe0931715b1725fdf26 upstream.
This comment referred to a conditional call to kmemcheck_hide() that was
here until commit 4950276672fc ("kmemcheck: remove annotations").
Now that kmemcheck has been removed, it doesn't make sense anymore.
