habanalabs/gaudi: fix comment to reflect current code
Due to code changes in the past few years, the original comment of how parser->user_cb_size is checked was not correct anymore. Fix it to reflect current code and add more explanation as the code is more complex now. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Oded Gabbay <ogabbay@kernel.org>
