sfc: Fix some incorrect or redundant comments
In particular, the comment about EVQ_RPTR_REG is based on inconsistent preliminary hardware documentation, though the following code was fixed long before release. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
