mm/memory_hotplug: add comment to some functions related to memory hotplug
__offline_isolated_pages() and test_pages_isolated() are used by memory hotplug. These functions require that range is in a single zone but there is no code to do this because memory hotplug checks it before calling these functions. To avoid confusing future user of these functions, this patch adds comments to them.
