documentation/mm: update pmd_present() in arch_pgtable_helpers.rst
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.
