docs: net: dsa: add more info about the other arguments to get_tag_protocol
Changes were made to the prototype of get_tag_protocol without
describing at a high level what they are about. Update the documentation

Fixes: 5ed4e3eb0217 ("net: dsa: Pass a port to get_tag_protocol()")
Fixes: 4d776482ecc6 ("net: dsa: Get information about stacked DSA protocol")
