net: add documentation for skb recycling

Browse Source 
Commit 04a4bb55bc ("net: add
skb_recycle_check() to enable netdriver skb recycling") added a
method for network drivers to recycle skbuffs, but while use of
this mechanism was documented in the commit message, it should
really have been added as a docbook comment as well -- this
patch does that.
