The commit "usb: Export BOS descriptor to sysfs" added a binary attribute
group to sysfs. It doesn't check if the descriptors attribute should be
visible, which is by design and not an oversight. Update a comment so that
it better explains this in the dev_bin_attrs_are_visible() function.

I had mistakenly written the entry as if it went into stable/sysfs-bus-usb
instead of testing/sysfs-bus-usb, so the "..." shouldn't be there. I see
you have already moved and corrected the bos_descriptors documentation, so
it should be all OK now.
