[PATCH] kernel/sched/cpufreq_schedutil: remove stale comment
From: Juri Lelli
Date: Wed May 09 2018 - 04:41:27 EST
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.
