pagemap: update BUDDY flag documentation

Since v4.6 the BUDDY flag is set for _all_ pages in the block
and no longer just for the first one.
This change was introduced by:
commit 832fc1de01ae ("/proc/kpageflags: return KPF_BUDDY for "tail" buddy pages")

Strictly speaking, this was an ABI change, but as nobody has noticed
since 2016, let's just update the documentation.
