[PATCH] correct zone_table comment

  The comment describing the usage of zone_table[] assumes the existence
  of an unsigned char page->zone field from the original implementation
  of page->zone size reduction. This patch corrects the comment to
  accurately describe the lookup mechanism used by page_zone() and also
  to mention explicitly the sole user of the table, page_zone().
