Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: scan: removed outdated comment

The function acpi_video_get_capabilities() was removed from
drivers/acpi/video_detect.c by commit 87521e16a7ab
("acpi-video-detect: Rewrite backlight interface selection logic") in
2015.  At the time, comments about this function were just removed,
and no replacement seemed to be proposed.  So drop the reference to
acpi_video_get_capabilities() here as well.
