drm/gem: replace misleading comment

Browse source 
shmem supports page-relocations during swapin since quite some time. It
was implemented in:

        shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone

The gem-comment about wrongly placed DMA32 pages is no longer valid.
Replace it with a proper comment but keep the BUG_ON() to verify correct
shmem behavior.
