Twenty Eleven loop is confusing when post is password protected

[helenyhou]

When a post is password protected in Twenty Eleven, you get the text "Enter your password to view comments." under the title, followed by "This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:" and the usual password form. This seems redundant and looks really confusing. Since it also shows the comments prompt in the entry-meta, perhaps it would be better not to show the icon at all.

Attached is a screenshot of what it looks like in its current state, and a patch to not show the icon if a password is needed. I may (probably) have missed some places, not being as familiar with Twenty Eleven yet.

I really should say the .entry-header .comments-link instead of icon.

It appears I changed the version to 3.1.4 thinking I was changing it to 3.2.1. Anyway, this patch looks OK to me.

Does this affect Twenty Ten?

No, Twenty Ten only has a comment link in the entry-meta and it looks fine. It's just because of the slick comment bubble in Twenty Eleven :)

Looks good.

Twenty Eleven: Don't call comments_popup_link() if post_password_required(). That'll result in double password messages. props helenyhou, fixes #17962 for trunk.
