[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/2] ofp-parse: Improve comment for parse_ofp_packet_out_str().

This function is a wrapper for parse_ofp_packet_out_str__(), which
states that a couple members must be freed on success.  This commit
updates the wrapper's description to indicate the same.

The existing callers appear to be properly freeing members.
