fork-comment-fix: remove ambiguous question mark in CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID comment

The current comment "Clear TID on mm_release()?" ends with a question
mark, implying uncertainty about whether the TID is actually cleared in
mm_release().

However, the code flow is deterministic.  When a task exits, mm_release()
explicitly checks 'tsk->clear_child_tid' and clears.

Since this behavior is unambiguous, remove the confusing question mark and
rephrase the comment to clearly state that TID is cleared in mm_release().
