zsmalloc: zs_object_copy: add clarifying comment
Patch series "tidy up zsmalloc implementation"
This patchset remove some unnecessary checks and adds a clarifying
comment. While analysing zs_object_copy() function code, I spent some
time to understand what the call kunmap_atomic(d_addr) is for. It seems
that this point is not trivial and it is worth adding a comment.
This patch (of 2):
It's not obvious why kunmap_atomic(d_addr) call is needed.
