scsi: core: scmd_eh_abort_handler(): Add a comment 

After the patch that introduced this function was posted on the
linux-scsi mailing list an explanation was posted why this patch is
correct. Since that explanation contains important information, add a
summary of it above the code that explanation applies to.  See also
