Since commit 7f3bfab52cab ("mm/gup: take mmap_lock in get_dump_page()"),
which landed in v5.10, core dumping doesn't enter fault handling without
holding the mmap_lock anymore. Remove the stale parts of the comments, but
leave the behavior as-is - letting core dumping block on userfault handling
would be a bad idea and could lead to deadlocks if the dumping process was
handling its own userfaults.
