Subject: mm/page_alloc: reword the comment of buddy_merge_likely()
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2024 01:06:12 +0000

For page with order O, we are checking its order (O + 1)'s buddy.  If it
is free, we would like to put it to the tail and expect it would be merged
to a page with order (O + 2).

Reword the comment to reflect it.
