Remove incorrect statement about hist(..., log=True).

We don't remove zero-count patches, as can easily be checked with e.g. `print(hist([0, 0, 0, 10], 10, log=True))`. The incorrect statement came in in f24d06c, but it is clear that that patch did not implement that behavior, instead filtering out such patches in `_update_patch_limits`.
