Canjiang Lu 05088e5de0 mm/slub: remove obsolete comment
The obsolete comment removed in this patch was introduced by
51df114281 ("slub: Dynamically size kmalloc cache allocations").

I paste related modification from that commit:

+#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
+       /*
+        * Allocate kmem_cache_node properly from the kmem_cache slab.
+        * kmem_cache_node is separately allocated so no need to
+        * update any list pointers.
+        */
+       temp_kmem_cache_node = kmem_cache_node;

+       kmem_cache_node = kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache, GFP_NOWAIT);
+       memcpy(kmem_cache_node, temp_kmem_cache_node, kmem_size);
+
+       kmem_cache_bootstrap_fixup(kmem_cache_node);
+
+       caches++;
+#else
+       /*
+        * kmem_cache has kmem_cache_node embedded and we moved it!
+        * Update the list heads
+        */
+       INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kmem_cache->local_node.partial);
+       list_splice(&temp_kmem_cache->local_node.partial, &kmem_cache->local_node.partial);
+#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG
+       INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kmem_cache->local_node.full);
+       list_splice(&temp_kmem_cache->local_node.full, &kmem_cache->local_node.full);
+#endif

As we can see there're used to distinguish the difference handling
between NUMA/non-NUMA configuration in the original commit.  I think it
doesn't make any sense in current implementation which is placed above
kmem_cache_node = bootstrap(&boot_kmem_cache_node); So maybe it's better
to remove them now?

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
