spi: docs: adjust summary to CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED removal 

With commit 721da5cee9 ("driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2"), ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py indicated
an unresolved reference to the config SYSFS_DEPRECATED in the SPI summary
documentation.

Simply, delete the sentence referring to the removed config there. Also
update the documentation, as these sys/class entries should always be
symlinks, as the commit message of the commit above suggests.

Note that the actual location of the controller's class state depends
on whether you enabled CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED or not. At this time,
the only class-specific state is the bus number ("B" in "spiB"), so
those /sys/class entries are only useful to quickly identify busses.

How does board-specific init code declare SPI devices?
