docs/mm: vmalloc: re-indent kernel-doc comemnts
Some kernel-doc comments in mm/vmalloc.c have leading tab in indentation. This leads to excessive indentation in the generated HTML and to the inconsistency of its layout ([1] vs [2]). Besides, multi-line Note: sections are not handled properly with extra indentation.
