Subject: mm: add comments on pglist_data zones
While making other modifications it was easy to confuse the two struct members node_zones and node_zonelists. For those already familiar with the code, this might seem to be a silly patch, but it's quite helpful to disambiguate the similar-sounding fields
While here, add a small comment on why nr_zones isn't simply MAX_NR_ZONES
