cpufreq: schedutil: remove stale comment
After commit 794a56ebd9a57 (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. Signed-off-by: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
