mm: add comment on swap_duplicate's error code
swap_duplicate()'s loop appears to miss out on returning the error code
from __swap_duplicate(), except when that's -ENOMEM. In fact this is
intentional: prior to -ENOMEM for swap_count_continuation,
swap_duplicate() was void (and the case only occurs when copy_one_pte()
hits a corrupt pte). But that's surprising behaviour, which certainly
deserves a comment.
