exit/doublefault: Remove apparently bogus comment about rewind_stack_do_exit

Browse Source 
I do not see panic calling rewind_stack_do_exit anywhere, nor can I
find anywhere in the history where doublefault_shim has called
rewind_stack_do_exit.  So I don't think this comment was ever actually
correct.
