mm: document mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start_nonblock()

Browse source 
Document what mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start_nonblock() is for.  Also
add a __must_check annotation to signal that callers must bail out if a
notifier vetoes the operation.

* This version of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() avoids blocking, but it

* case you're not allowed to modify PTEs in the specified range.

* This is mainly intended for OOM handling.
