mm: clarify a confusing comment for remap_pfn_range()

Browse Source 
commit 86a76331d9 upstream.

It really made me scratch my head.  Replace the comment with an accurate
and consistent description.

The parameter pfn actually refers to the page frame number which is
right-shifted by PAGE_SHIFT from the physical address.
