4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jann Horn <[email protected]> commit 3b3a9268bba62b35a29bafe0931715b1725fdf26 upstream. This comment referred to a conditional call to kmemcheck_hide() that was here until commit 4950276672fc ("kmemcheck: remove annotations"). Now that kmemcheck has been removed, it doesn't make sense anymore.
