xenpaging: remove confusing comment from p2m_mem_paging_populate

Currently there is no way to avoid the double check of the p2mt
because p2m_mem_paging_populate() is called from many places without
the p2m_lock held. Upcoming changes will move the function into
gfn_to_mfn(), so its interface could be changed and the extra
p2m_lock/get_entry can be removed.
