I feel that the removed comment should stay, since the current comment
makes no sense when I read it alone.

In addition, why is __PageMovable() is renamed to page_has_movable_ops() but
__SetPageMovable() stays the same? page_has_movable_ops() and __SetPageMovable()
are functions for checking and setting PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE. The naming just
does not look symmetric.
