[PATCH] [mmotm v2] comment on swap notify locking constraints

[Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>]

A block device makes swap_slot_free_notify() callback
when the last reference to a swap slot is dropped.

This callback is made under swap_lock and page table
lock. This is a note of warning for registered callback
function which must meet these constraints.
