Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/5] net/sched: taprio: delete misleading comment about preallocating child qdiscs

As mentioned in commit af7b29b1deaa ("Revert "net/sched: taprio: make
qdisc_leaf() see the per-netdev-queue pfifo child qdiscs"") - unlike
mqprio, taprio doesn't use q->qdiscs[] only as a temporary transport
between Qdisc_ops :: init() and Qdisc_ops :: attach().

Delete the comment, which is just stolen from mqprio, but there, the
usage patterns are a lot different, and this is nothing but confusing.
