The memory hotplug code uses sync_global_pgds() to synchronize updates
to the global (&init_mm) kernel PGD and the task PGDs. It does this
by iterating over the pgd_list - which list closely tracks task
creation/destruction via fork/clone.

But we want to remove this list, so that it does not have to be
maintained from fork()/exit(), so convert the memory hotplug code
to use the task list to iterate over all pgds in the system.

Also improve the comments a bit, to make this function easier
to understand.

Only lightly tested, as I don't have a memory hotplug setup.
