media: dmx-fread.rst: specify how DMX_CHECK_CRC works
In the past, the documentation used to say that, if a CRC error was found, a "-ECRC" error would be returned. That's not true: the DVB core will just silently ignore such errors. So, add an explicit note about that. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
