Update comment in linux_nat_can_async_p
I think this comment is outdated. Nowadays, linux-nat is always async, unless the user has explictly turned it off with "maint set target-async off". gdb/ChangeLog: * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_can_async_p): Update comment.

* serial.c (serial_open): Forget about "pc" and "lpt" serial interface.
