Looking at the history of the function, ...

... it used to be
static int put_page_from_l2e(l2_pgentry_t l2e, unsigned long pfn)
When the rename occurred (in the context of or as a follow-up to an
XSA iirc), the comment adjustment was apparently missed. With the
referenced name matching that of the function argument (l2mfn)
