After commit 794a56ebd9a57 ("sched/cpufreq: Change the worker kthread to
SCHED_DEADLINE") schedutil kthreads are "ignored" for a clock frequency
selection point of view, so the potential corner case for RT tasks is not
possible at all now.Remove the stale comment mentioning it. Signed-off-by: Juri Lelli <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: "Rafael J.
