mm: clean up get_user_pages_fast() documentation
Move more documentation for get_user_pages_fast into the new kerneldoc comment.
Add some comments for get_user_pages as well.
Also, move get_user_pages_fast declaration up to get_user_pages. It wasn't
there initially because it was once a static inline function.
