Rewrite the comment in kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() that explains why it is safe to flush TLBs outside of the MMU lock after write-protecting SPTEs for dirty logging. The current comment is a long run-on sentence that was difficult to understand. In addition it was specific to the shadow MMU (mentioning mmu_spte_update()) when the TDP MMU has to handle this as well. The new comment explains: - Why the TLB flush is necessary at all. - Why it is desirable to do the TLB flush outside of the MMU lock. - Why it is safe to do the TLB flush outside of the MMU lock. No functional change intended.

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.
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.
