Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp: remove obsolete comment about TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when in tcp_fragment()

The TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when field no longer exists as of recent change
7faee5c0d514 ("tcp: remove TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->when"). And in any case,
tcp_fragment() is called on already-transmitted packets from the
__tcp_retransmit_skb() call site, so copying timestamps of any kind
in this spot is quite sensible.
