[PATCH] [aarch64] Remove obsolete comment about X30


r217431 changed X30 as caller-saved in CALL_USE_REGISTERS because of
which this comment about X30 not being marked as call-clobbered is no
longer accurate.

	* config/aarch64/aarch64.h: Remove obsolete comment.

-/* Note that we don't mark X30 as a call-clobbered register.  The idea is
-   that it's really the call instructions themselves which clobber X30.
-   We don't care what the called function does with it afterwards.
-
-   This approach makes it easier to implement sibcalls.  Unlike normal
-   calls, sibcalls don't clobber X30, so the register reaches the
-   called function intact.  EPILOGUE_USES says that X30 is useful
-   to the called function.  */
