Muchun Song 77c368f057 mm/sparse: fix comment for section map alignment
The comment in mmzone.h currently details exhaustive per-architecture
bit-width lists and explains alignment using min(PAGE_SHIFT,
PFN_SECTION_SHIFT).  Such details risk falling out of date over time and
may inadvertently be left un-updated.

We always expect a single section to cover full pages.  Therefore, we can
safely assume that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is large enough to accommodate
SECTION_MAP_LAST_BIT.  We use BUILD_BUG_ON() to ensure this.

Update the comment to accurately reflect this consensus, making it clear
that we rely on a single section covering full pages.
