[PATCH] mm: anon is already wrprotected

Browse Source 
do_anonymous_page's pte_wrprotect causes some confusion: in such a case,
vm_page_prot must already be forcing COW, so must omit write permission, and
so the pte_wrprotect is redundant.  Replace it by a comment to that effect,
and reword the comment on unuse_pte which also caused confusion.
