mm: migrate: add more comments for selecting target node randomly

Browse Source 
As Yang Shi suggested [1], it will be helpful to explain why we should
select target node randomly now if there are multiple target nodes.

* last target node. Or introducing per-cpu data to avoid
* caching issue, which seems more complicated. So selecting
* target node randomly seems better until now.
