[PATCH v2] net: fix comment above build_skb()

[Florian Fainelli]

build_skb() specifies that the data parameter must come from a kmalloc'd
area, this is only true if frag_size equals 0, because then build_skb()
will use kzsize(data) to figure out the actual data size. Update the
comment to reflect that special condition.

Changes since v1:
- explain the case where frag_size != 0
