vmalloc: update __vmalloc_node_noprof() documentation

Browse Source 
The kernel-doc for __vmalloc_node_noprof() incorrectly states that
__GFP_NOFAIL reclaim modifier is not supported.  In fact it has been
supported since commit 9376130c39 ("mm/vmalloc: add support for
__GFP_NOFAIL").

To avoid duplication and future drift, point this helper's doc to
__vmalloc_node_range_noprof() for details and the full description.
