LoongArch: Remove MIPS comment about cycle counter
This comment block was taken originally from the MIPS architecture code, where indeed there are particular assumptions one can make regarding SMP and !SMP and cycle counters. On LoongArch, however, the rdtime family of functions is always available. As Xuerui wrote: The rdtime family of instructions is in fact guaranteed to be available on LoongArch; LoongArch's subsets all contain them, even the 32-bit "Primary" subset intended for university teaching -- they provide the rdtimeh.w and rdtimel.w pair of instructions that access the same 64-bit counter. So this commit simply removes the incorrect comment block.
