[PATCH] vmalloc: Update __vmalloc_node_noprof() documentation

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)

Date: Mon Oct 13 2025 - 13:42:26 EST


The kernel-doc for the __vmalloc_node_noprof() incorrectly states
that __GFP_NOFAIL reclaim modifier is not supported. In fact it has
been supported since commit 9376130c390a ("mm/vmalloc: add support
for __GFP_NOFAIL").

To avoid duplication and future drift, point this helper's doc to
__vmalloc_node_range_noprof() for details and the full description.
