[Buildroot] [PATCH] initramfs: drop comment against multiple formats

This patch removes an old comment against having multiple filesystem
formats which doesn't bring any value.

It is also wrong per-se: one may want to use Buildroot to prepare a
custom distribution containing a kernel+initramfs and a persistent
default rootfs to pivot to.
