binfmt_elf: PIE: make PF_RANDOMIZE check comment more accurate
The comment I originally added in commit a3defbe5c337 ("binfmt_elf: fix
PIE execution with randomization disabled") is not really 100% accurate
-- sysctl is not the only way how PF_RANDOMIZE could be forcibly unset
in runtime.
Another option of course is direct modification of personality flags
(i.e. running through setarch wrapper).
Make the comment more explicit and accurate.
