docs/mm: vmalloc: re-indent kernel-doc comemnts

Some kernel-doc comments in mm/vmalloc.c have leading tab in
indentation.  This leads to excessive indentation in the generated HTML
and to the inconsistency of its layout ([1] vs [2]).

Besides, multi-line Note: sections are not handled properly with extra
indentation.
