mm: add kdoc comments for vma_start/last_pgoff()

Browse source

Describe what vma_start_pgoff() and vma_last_pgoff() actually provide in
detail.

This is in order that we can differentiate this between functions that will
be added in a subsequent patch which provide a different page offset.

We go to lengths to describe the edge cases that can be run into here.

No functional change intended.
