[PATCH net-next] net: skb: remove old comments about frag_size for build_skb()

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Date: 2023-01-07 02:29:15

Since commit ce098da1497c ("skbuff: Introduce slab_build_skb()")
drivers trying to build skb around slab-backed buffers should
go via slab_build_skb() rather than passing frag_size = 0 to
the main build_skb().

Remove the copy'n'pasted comments about 0 meaning slab.
