arm: Remove bogus comment in futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()

commit 522d7dec(futex: Remove redundant pagefault_disable in
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()) added a bogus comment.

/* Note that preemption is disabled by futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
 * call sites. */

Bogus in two aspects:

1) pagefault_disable != preempt_disable even if the mechanism we use
   is the same

2) we have a call site which deliberately does not disable pagefaults
   as it wants the possible fault to be handled - though that has been
   changed for consistency reasons now.

Sigh. I really should have seen that when committing the above. :(
