net: fix comment above build_skb()
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. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
