devlink: Update nested instance locking comment

Browse Source 
In commit [1] a comment about nested instance locking was updated. But
there's another place where this is mentioned, so update that as well.

instances")

@@ -31,10 +31,10 @@ sure to respect following rules:
- Lock ordering should be maintained. If driver needs to take instance
lock of both nested and parent instances at the same time, devlink
instance lock of the parent instance should be taken first, only then
instance lock of the nested instance could be taken.
- Driver should use object-specific helpers to setup the nested relationship
before registering the nested devlink instance:
instance lock of the nested instance should be taken first, only then
instance lock of the parent instance could be taken.
- Driver should use object-specific helpers to setup the
nested relationship:
- ``devl_nested_devlink_set()`` - called to setup devlink -> nested
devlink relationship (could be used for multiple nested instances).
