mm/mm_slot.h: add comments for mm_slot_lookup/insert

mm_slot_lookup() and mm_slot_insert() are the only helpers in this header
that are implemented as macros rather than static inline functions.  This
may look inconsistent without explanation.

Explain they must be macros because hash_for_each_possible() needs the
table as an array (for sizeof), not a pointer.
