mm, doc: cleanup and clarify munmap behavior for hugetlb memory

munmap(2) of hugetlb memory requires a length that is hugepage aligned,
otherwise it may fail.  Add this to the documentation.

This also cleans up the documentation and separates it into logical units:
one part refers to MAP_HUGETLB and another part refers to requirements for
shared memory segments.
