[PATCH v5 22/25] module: Remove outdated comment about text_size

The text_size bit referred to by the comment has been removed as of commit

  ac3b43283923 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory")

and is thus no longer relevant. Remove it and comment about the contents of
the masks array instead.
