Subject: scripts/mod/modpost.c: fix commentary accordingly to last changes
From: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@gmail.com>

The commits 37ed19d5cce ("scripts/mod/modpost.c: fix memory leak") and
5003bab82d ("fix "scripts/mod/modpost.c: fix memory leak"") introduced new
behaviour of sec2annotation() method.  However, the commentary inside the
method was left as before.  Let's fix it accordingly.
