Subject: [PATCH] Cpufreq/governor: Remove fossil comment

From: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@...el.com>

cpufreq_set_policy() has been changed to origin __cpufreq_set_policy()
and policy->lock has been converted to rewrite lock by commit 5a01f2.
So remove the comment.

This patch is based on patch "cpufreq: rename __cpufreq_set_policy()
as cpufreq_set_policy()."
