Subject: [PATCH 2/7] docs/vm: hugetlbpage: move section about kernel development to hugetlbfs_reserv

The hugetlbpage describes hugetlbfs from the user perspective and newer
hugetlbfs_reserv document targets kernel developers. Hence the section
about hugetlbfs kernel development naturally belongs there.
