samples/bpf: xdp2skb_meta comment explain why pkt-data pointers are invalidated 

Improve the 'unknown reason' comment, with an actual explaination of why
the ctx pkt-data pointers need to be loaded after the helper function
bpf_xdp_adjust_meta().  Based on the explaination Daniel gave.

Fixes: 36e04a2d78 ("samples/bpf: xdp2skb_meta shows transferring info from XDP to SKB")
