ext3_fill_super() is no longer called by read_super(), and it is no
longer called with the superblock locked.  The
unlock_super()/lock_super() is no longer present, so this comment is
entirely superfluous.

Port of ext4 commit 32ed5058ce90024efcd811254b4b1de0468099df by
Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>.
