mm: correct the comment when reclaimed pages exceed the scanned pages
Commit e1587a494540 ("mm: vmpressure: fix sending wrong events on underflow") declared that reclaimed pages exceed the scanned pages due to the thp reclaim. That is incorrect because THP will be spilt to normal page and loop again, which will result in the scanned pages increment.
