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.
