gsmtap_sendmsg(): clarify API doc concerning msgb ownership
Not freeing on error does enable callers to try to re-send as well, so it is a kind of useful feature, even though I find it likely for callers to either forget about freeing the msg on error or double-free by accident... I considered changing gsmtap_sendmsg() to always free, but since it is public API, I chose to keep and document its current behavior properly instead. We don't know what callers may exist out there.
