Actually SECTIONS_SHIFT is used in the kernel code, so the code
comments is strictly incorrect. And since
commit bbeae5b05ef6 ("mm: move page flags layout to separate header"),
SECTIONS_SHIFT definition has been moved to
include/linux/page-flags-layout.h,
since code itself looks quite straighforward, instead of moving
the code comment into the new place as well, we just simply remove it.

This also fixed a checkpatch complain derived from the original code:
WARNING: please, no space before tabs
+ * SECTIONS_SHIFT    ^I^I#bits space required to store a section #$
