sched/core: Clarify SD_flags comment

Browse Source 
The SD_flags comment is very terse and doesn't explain why PACKING is
odd.

IIRC the distinction is that the 'normal' ones only describe topology,
while the ASYM_PACKING one also prescribes behaviour. It is odd in the
way that it doesn't only describe things.
