PATCH 1/1 statx: remove incorrect part of vfs_statx() comment

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

request_mask and query_flags are function arguments, not passed in struct kstat. So remove the part of the comment which claims otherwise. This was apparently left over from an earlier version of the statx patch.
