Subject: [PATCH v3 3/6] staging: rtl8723bs: remove dead code in rtw_ap.c

This patch removes a commented-out assignment to
psta->dot118021XPrivacy in rtw_ap.c. The comment indicates
that the statement is no longer needed, so keeping it adds
no value.

Removing this line (and the superfluous blank line that
remained with it) improves code readability and matches
kernel coding style.

This is a cleanup only. No functional changes.

v3: move dead code removal into a separate patch
v2: previously only realigned the commented-out line
