Subject: [net-next 13/17] fm10k: update comment regarding reserved bits check

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

The original comment may be read incorrectly as referring to checking
the *entire* length is zero. However, it merely checks only the reserved
bits of both length and reserved in a small amount of code. Update the
comment to indicate this is a clever trick and clearly spell out that it
only checks the reserve bits.
