The TODO comment in nid_show() suggested returning an error if the goal was
not using nid. However, this comment was found to be inaccurate and misleading.
This patch removes the TODO comment without changing any existing behavior.

This change follows feedback from SJ who pointed out that wiring-order
independence is expected and the function should simply show the last set value.

No functional code changes were made.

Tested with KUnit:
- Built kernel with KUnit and DAMON sysfs tests enabled.
- Executed KUnit tests:
  ./kunit.py run --kunitconfig ./mm/mm/damon/tests/.kunitconfig
- All 25 tests passed, including damon_sysfs_test_add_targets.

Also, giving a pointer to the previous discussion could be a good practice, in
my opinion.  E.g.,

   This change follows feedback from SJ who pointed out [1] that ...

Not an important thing, but...  if you were doing this on the root of
unmodified linux tree, the command you executed would be,

./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig ./mm/damon/tests

I guess it was just a simple copy-and-pasta mistake and I don't really mind,
though.
