[PATCH v2] fs/buffer: remove comment about hard sectorsize

From: Pankaj Raghav
Date: Wed Jun 18 2025 - 03:58:48 EST


Commit e1defc4ff0cf ("block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size")
changed hardsect_size to logical block size. The comment on top still
says hardsect_size.

Remove the comment as the code is pretty clear. While we are at it,
format the relevant code.
