scsi/qla1280: Remove stale comment about mmiowb()

All mmiowb() invocations have been removed, so there's no need to keep
banging on about it.

/*
* Update request index to mailbox4 (Request Queue In).
* The mmiowb() ensures that this write is ordered with writes by other
* CPUs. Without the mmiowb(), it is possible for the following:
* CPUA posts write of index 5 to mailbox4
* CPUA releases host lock
* CPUB acquires host lock
* CPUB posts write of index 6 to mailbox4
* On PCI bus, order reverses and write of 6 posts, then index 5,
* causing chip to issue full queue of stale commands
* The mmiowb() prevents future writes from crossing the barrier.
* See Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst for more information.
