mm/page_alloc: tweak comments in has_unmovable_pages()

Patch series "mm / virtio-mem: support ZONE_MOVABLE", v5.

When introducing virtio-mem, the semantics of ZONE_MOVABLE were rather
unclear, which is why we special-cased ZONE_MOVABLE such that partially
plugged blocks would never end up in ZONE_MOVABLE.

Now that the semantics are much clearer (and are documented in patch #6),
let's support partially plugged memory blocks in ZONE_MOVABLE, allowing
partially plugged memory blocks to be online to ZONE_MOVABLE and also
unplugging from such memory blocks.  This avoids surprises when onlining
of memory blocks suddenly fails, just because they are not completely
populated by virtio-mem (yet).

This is especially helpful for testing, but also paves the way for
virtio-mem optimizations, allowing more memory to get reliably unplugged.

Cleanup has_unmovable_pages() and set_migratetype_isolate(), providing
better documentation of how ZONE_MOVABLE interacts with different kind of
unmovable pages (memory offlining vs.  alloc_contig_range()).

This patch (of 6):

Let's move the split comment regarding bootmem allocations and memory
holes, especially in the context of ZONE_MOVABLE, to the PageReserved()
check.
