staging: android: logger: Add a TODO
A comment about a pre-existing bug data structure definition is added. This bug was evidently introduced by Xiong Zhou in the patch bd471258f2e09 ("staging: android: logger: use kuid_t instead of uid_t") where the code was changed to hide a valid build warning instead of solving the bug that was identified by it.
