mm: fix ambiguous comments for better code readability
The parameter of remap_pfn_range() @pfn passed from the caller is actually a page-frame number converted by corresponding physical address of kernel memory, the original comment is ambiguous that may mislead the users. Meanwhile, there is an ambiguous typo "VMM" in the comment of vm_area_struct. So fixing them will make the code more readable.
