x86/vdso: Remove a stale/misleading comment from the linker script
Once upon a time, vdso2c aggressively stripped data from the vDSO image when generating the final userspace image. This included stripping the .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections. Eventually, the stripping process reverted to "objdump -S" and no longer removed the aforementioned sections, but the comment remained. Keeping the .alt* sections at the end of the PT_LOAD segment is no longer necessary, but there's no harm in doing so and it's a helpful reminder that they don't need to be included in the final vDSO image, i.e. someone may want to take another stab at zapping/stripping the unneeded sections.
