[PATCH] documentation/mm: Update pmd_present() in arch_pgtable_helpers.rst

[Anshuman Khandual]

Although pmd_present() might seem to indicate a valid and mapped pmd entry,
in reality it returns true when pmd_page() points to a valid page in memory
, regardless whether the pmd entry is mapped or not. Andrea Arcangeli had
earlier explained [1] the required semantics for pmd_present(). This just
updates the documentation for pmd_present() as required.
