 Removing meta box commentstatusdiv for e.g. some user roles stores null
 value for comments configuration in database, after a user without that
 meta box stores the post.

 Example:

 - post edit as admin **with** commentstatusdiv meta box
 - meta box commentstatusdiv -> Allow comments is **activated**
 - Post edit as user **without** commentstatusdiv meta box
 - save post as user
 - post edit as admin
 - meta box commentstatusdiv -> Allow comments is **deactivated**
