ext4: Remove outdated comment about lock_super()

ext4_fill_super() is no longer called by read_super(), and it is no
longer called with the superblock locked.  The
unlock_super()/lock_super() is no longer present, so this comment is
entirely superfluous.

* That deadlocks, because orphan cleanup needs to lock the superblock
