platform/chrome: cros_ec_proto: update cros_ec_check_result() comment

At first glance, cros_ec_check_result() is quite like cros_ec_map_error().
They check for `ec_msg->result` and return corresponding errors.  However,
as calling from `pkt_xfer` and `cmd_xfer`, cros_ec_check_result() should
not report furthermore errors.  -EAGAIN is the only exception.

See [1][2][3] for some known userland programs' code.  The return code
from ioctl only denotes the EC communication status.  Userland programs
would further analyze the `result` in struct cros_ec_command* for
follow-up actions (e.g. [4]).

To clarify, update the function comment.
