mm/sparse: fix comment for section map alignment
The comment in mmzone.h currently details exhaustive per-architecture
bit-width lists and explains alignment using min(PAGE_SHIFT,
PFN_SECTION_SHIFT). Such details risk falling out of date over time and
may inadvertently be left un-updated.
We always expect a single section to cover full pages. Therefore, we can
safely assume that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is large enough to accommodate
SECTION_MAP_LAST_BIT. We use BUILD_BUG_ON() to ensure this.
Update the comment to accurately reflect this consensus, making it clear
that we rely on a single section covering full pages.
