lib/crc_kunit.c: update comment in crc_benchmark()

None of the CRC library functions use __pure anymore, so the comment in
crc_benchmark() is outdated.  But the comment was not really correct
anyway, since the CRC computation could (in principle) be optimized out
regardless of __pure.  Update the comment to have a proper explanation.
