Subject[PATCH] kernel/sched/cpufreq_schedutil: remove stale comment
Date
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.
