docs: pagemap: fix flags location, member name and sample code

Browse source

The userland visible page flags (KPF_*) were initially moved to
include/linux/kernel-page-flags.h in commit 1a9b5b7fe0 ("mm: export
stable page flags"), and later moved to
include/uapi/linux/kernel-page-flags.h in commit 607ca46e97 ("UAPI:
(Scripted) Disintegrate include/linux").  Update the doc to reflect the
current location of these flags.

The member @walk_end of struct pm_scan_arg {} was wrongly written as
"end_walk".

The first sample code of the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl wrongly used the
PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC flag twice, instead of the PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING flag.
The second one included the wrong category in the required mask -
PAGE_IS_FILE should be used instead of PAGE_IS_SWAPPED as per the
intention.

Fix them all together.
