ipv4: update comment to document GSO fragmentation cases. 



This is a follow-up to commit 9ee6c5dc ("ipv4: allow local
fragmentation in ip_finish_output_gso()"), updating the comment
documenting cases in which fragmentation is needed for egress
GSO packets.

	 * This can happen in several cases:

	 *  - Forwarding of a TCP GRO skb, when DF flag is not set.

	 *  - Forwarding of an skb that arrived on a virtualization interface

	 *    (virtio-net/vhost/tap) with TSO/GSO size set by other network

	 *    stack.

	 *  - Local GSO skb transmitted on an NETIF_F_TSO tunnel stacked over an

	 *    interface with a smaller MTU.

	 *  - Arriving GRO skb (or GSO skb in a virtualized environment) that is
