mm/gup.c: fix follow_page_mask() kerneldoc comment
Commit df06b37ffe5a ("mm/gup: cache dev_pagemap while pinning pages")
modified the signature of follow_page_mask() but left the parameter
description behind.
Update the description to make the code and comments agree again.
While at it, update formatting of the return value description to match
Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst guidelines.
