Jonathan Corbet cc84ac35d9 docs: Catch up with the new location of get_user_pages_fast()
Commit 050a9adc64 ("mm: consolidate the get_user_pages* implementations")
moved get_user_pages_fast() from mm/util.c to mm/gup.c, but didn't update
the documentation, leading to this build warning:

  ./mm/util.c:1: warning: 'get_user_pages_fast' not found

Update the docs to match the new reality.

Memory Allocation Controls
==========================
Functions which need to allocate memory often use GFP flags to express
how that memory should be allocated. The GFP acronym stands for "get
free pages", the underlying memory allocation function. Not every GFP
flag is allowed to every function which may allocate memory. Most
users will want to use a plain ``GFP_KERNEL``.
