drbd: add comment why we want to first call local-io-error, then send state

Even though we really want to get the state information about our bad
disk to the peer as soon as possible, it is useful to first call the
local-io-error handler.

People may chose to hard-reset the box from there.
If that looks and behaves exactly like a "regular node crash", without
bumping the data generation UUIDs on the peer in between, it makes it
easier to deal with.

If you intend to return from the local-io-error handler, then better
return as quickly as possible to avoid triggering other timeouts.
