[PATCH net] skbuff.h: Improve the checksum related comments

[Dexuan Cui]

Fixed the punctuation and some typos.
Improved a few sentences with minor changes.

No change to the semantics or the code.

English is not my mother tongue, so I may not be making the best changes
here. I'm happy to post a v2 if necessary. Looking forward to your comments!
