[Rd] nls function does not use subset argument (PR#9290)

[Tadashi Kadowaki]

I am sorry, it was my program's bug.
Yes, subset works!
Yes, nls works correctly!

I didn't pay enough attention to NAs.
NA threw off start value estimation in my program.
So, I got different results when I filtered NAs beforehand
and filtered by subset.
I also confused because subset does not appear in the
code of the nls function.
Then, I reached a wrong conclusion.

Thank you very much for your time.
