x86: PAT: clarify is_linear_pfn_mapping() interface

Impact: Documentation only

Incremental patches to address the review comments from Nick Piggin
for v3 version of x86 PAT pfnmap changes patchset here

http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0812.2/01330.html

This patch:

Clarify is_linear_pfn_mapping() and its usage.

It is used by x86 PAT code for performance reasons. Identifying pfnmap
as linear over entire vma helps speedup reserve and free of memtype
for the region.
