Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Remove unused struct field and incorrect comments

The return_object_type field in `struct acpi_evaluate_info` is unused,
so remove it.

There are also some issues in the comments of acpi_ps_execute_method().
First, the parameter_type field has already been removed from
`struct acpi_evaluate_info`, so the corresponding field description in
the comments should also be removed. Second, the return_object field
description in the comments is duplicated. Remove these incorrect comments.

This is ACPICA code which comes from a separate project.

The way to change it is to submit a pull request with the desired change
to the upstream ACPICA project on GitHub and add a Link tag pointing
to the upstream PR to the corresponding Linux patch. Then, the Linux
patch can only be applied after the corresponding upstream PR has been
merged.

Thanks!
