Subject: [PATCH] can: Explain PDU in CAN_ISOTP help text

The help text for the CAN_ISOTP config symbol uses the acronym "PDU".
However, this acronym is not explained here, nor in
Documentation/networking/can.rst.
Expand the acronym to make it easier for users to decide if they need to
enable the CAN_ISOTP option or not.
