mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: move code comments to vmemmap_dedup.rst
All the comments which explains how HVO works are moved to
vmemmap_dedup.rst since
commit 4917f55b4ef9 ("mm/sparse-vmemmap: improve memory savings for compound devmaps")
except some comments above page_fixed_fake_head(). This commit moves
those comments to vmemmap_dedup.rst and improve vmemmap_dedup.rst as well.
