cpufreq: schedutil: remove stale comment

Browse Source 
After commit 794a56ebd9 (sched/cpufreq: Change the worker kthread to
SCHED_DEADLINE) schedutil kthreads are "ignored" for a clock frequency
selection point of view, so the potential corner case for RT tasks is not
possible at all now.

Remove the stale comment mentioning it.

* For RT tasks, the schedutil governor shoots the frequency to maximum.
* Special care must be taken to ensure that this kthread doesn't result
* in the same behavior.
*
* This is (mostly) guaranteed by the work_in_progress flag. The flag is
* updated only at the end of the sugov_work() function and before that
* the schedutil governor rejects all other frequency scaling requests.
*
* There is a very rare case though, where the RT thread yields right
* after the work_in_progress flag is cleared. The effects of that are
* neglected for now.
