mm/util.c: update the kerneldoc for kstrdup_const()

Memory allocated with kstrdup_const() must not be passed to regular
krealloc() as it is not aware of the possibility of the chunk residing in
.rodata.  Since there are no potential users of krealloc_const() at the
moment, let's just update the doc to make it explicit.
