mm/hugetlb: remove hugetlb_follow_page_mask() leftover

Browse source 
We removed hugetlb_follow_page_mask() in commit 9cb28da546 ("mm/gup:
handle hugetlb in the generic follow_page_mask code") but forgot to
cleanup some leftovers.

While at it, simplify the hugetlb comment, it's overly detailed and rather
confusing.  Stating that we may end up in there during coredumping is
sufficient to explain the PF_DUMPCORE usage.
