rG90314c04f10f: makedev(9): drop an additional note about cdevpriv dtors

Summary

These were previously somewhat safe to call destroy_dev(9), but will now
also cause a deadlock in the same fashion that d_close doing so would
previously. Amend the note to point it out, in case it's useful for
someone.
