sfc: Remove bogus comment about MTU change and RX buffer overrun
RX DMA is limited by the length specified in each descriptor and not
by the MAC. Over-length frames may get into the RX FIFO regardless of
the MAC settings, due to a hardware bug, but they will be truncated by
the packet DMA engine and reported as such in the completion event.
