mm: (un)track_pfn_copy() fix + doc improvements
We got a late smatch warning and some additional review feedback.
smatch warnings:
mm/memory.c:1428 copy_page_range() error: uninitialized symbol 'pfn'.
We actually use the pfn only when it is properly initialized; however, we
may pass an uninitialized value to a function -- although it will not use
it that likely still is UB in C.
So let's just fix it by always initializing pfn in the caller of
track_pfn_copy(), and improving the documentation of track_pfn_copy().
While at it, clarify the doc of untrack_pfn_copy(), that internal checks
make sure if we actually have to untrack anything.
