QProcess: remove the note that it freezes threads on QNX
The notes were added in commit e3363fd945b3ab961fba720ee013533dd8ba2930 by Rafael, because at the time QNX 6.5.0 did not support fork() in multithreaded applications. We had to use posix_spawn(3) and that doesn't support setting the child's working directory, so we needed to freeze the application while chdir(2)ing in doSpawn(). doSpawn() was removed in commit 005a8bfbf0022f03dafafcf2b5c438ccf0675a49 for Qt 5.7, because fork() works since QNX 6.6.0. But the comments were accidentally left behind. Fixes: QTBUG-112990 Pick-to: 5.15 6.2 6.5 Change-Id: I3b169860d8bd41e9be6bfffd17577276eaabb855 Reviewed-by: Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@gmx.de> Reviewed-by: Thiago Macieira <thiago.macieira@intel.com>
