[PATCH] Documentation: fix a hugetlbfs reservation statement

[Jane Chu]

Documentation/mm/hugetlbfs_reserv.rst has
	if (resv_needed <= (resv_huge_pages - free_huge_pages))
		resv_huge_pages += resv_needed;
which describes this code in gather_surplus_pages()
	needed = (h->resv_huge_pages + delta) - h->free_huge_pages;
	if (needed <= 0) {
		h->resv_huge_pages += delta;
		return 0;
	}
which means if there are enough free hugepages to account for the new
reservation, simply update the global reservation count without
further action.

But the description is backwards, it should be
	if (resv_needed <= (free_huge_pages - resv_huge_pages))
instead.

 the global reservation count resv_huge_pages is adjusted something like the
 following::
 
-	if (resv_needed <= (resv_huge_pages - free_huge_pages))
+	if (resv_needed <= (free_huge_pages - resv_huge_pages)
