uvm_fault_lower(): document unlocking
In uvm_fault_lower() there's this unlocking dance that is different from
the rest of the fault handler which isn't obvious.
The reason is that that kernel just copied the content of `uobjpage' to
a newly allocated anon and there is no need to hold the lock of `uobj'
any longer.
Since this is no longer in NetBSD but I'd like to keep it instead of
holding the lock until after amap_add() and pmap_enter(), let's add some
comment.
ok?
