mm/rmap: Correct some obsolete comments of anon_vma

Commit Message

Miaohe Lin Jan. 23, 2021, 7:24 a.m. UTC

The commit 2b575eb64f7a ("mm: convert anon_vma->lock to a mutex") changed
spinlock used to serialize access to vma list to mutex. And further, the
commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an
rwsem") converted the mutex to an rwsem for solving scalability problem. So
replace spinlock with rwsem to make comment uptodate.
