BACKPORT: filemap: add a comment about FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT behavior
I thought Josef Bacik's patch to drop the mmap_sem was buggy, because when looking at the error cases, there was one case where we returned VM_FAULT_RETRY without actually dropping the mmap_sem. Josef had to explain to me (using small words) that yes, that's actually what we're supposed to do, and his patch was correct. Which not only convinced me he knew what he was doing and I should stop arguing with him, but also that I should add a comment to the case I was confused about.
