PATCH 1/1 nvme/pci: Delete misleading queue-wrap comment

It is not theoretically possible for this driver to wrap twice while processing completions. The driver allocates only 'queue_depth - 1' tags, so there can never be more than that to reap when processing a completion queue. Removing this misleading comment makes it a little less likely people with broken controllers will blame the driver for their spurious interrupts.
