mm/hugeltb: clarify (chg - freed) won't go negative in hugetlb_unreserve_pages()
The resv_map could be NULL since this routine can be called in the evict
inode path for all hugetlbfs inodes and we will have chg = 0 in this case.
But (chg - freed) won't go negative as Mike pointed out:
"If resv_map is NULL, then no hugetlb pages can be allocated/associated
with the file. As a result, remove_inode_hugepages will never find any
huge pages associated with the inode and the passed value 'freed' will
always be zero."
Add a comment clarifying this to make it clear and also avoid confusion.
