USB: core: drop outdated interface-binding comment 



It's been almost twenty years since USB drivers returned a data pointer
from their probe routines in order to bind to an interface.

Time to update the documentation for usb_driver_claim_interface().

 * Few drivers should need to use this routine, since the most natural

 * Callers must own the device lock, so driver probe() entries don't need
