pgtable: improve pte_protnone() comment
Especially the "For PROT_NONE VMAs, the PTEs are not marked
_PAGE_PROTNONE" part is wrong: doing an mprotect(PROT_NONE) will end up
marking all PTEs on x86_64 as _PAGE_PROTNONE, making pte_protnone()
indicate "yes".
So let's improve the comment, so it's easier to grasp which semantics
pte_protnone() actually has.
