Bugzilla ID 491 identifies a couple of scenarios in which calls to the rte_timer_reset_sync() and rte_timer_stop_sync() APIs could hang. Changing the function prototypes such that error codes are returned in these scenarios was considered, but rather than introducing another ABI change, it was proposed to document a usage limitation[1]. This patch adds the notes.
