[PATCH net-next] net: udp: correct the document for udp_mem

From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx>
udp_mem is a vector of 3 INTEGERs, which is used to limit the number of
pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.
However, sk_has_memory_pressure() in __sk_mem_raise_allocated() always
return false for udp, as memory pressure is not supported by udp, which
means that __sk_mem_raise_allocated() will fail once pages allocated
for udp socket exceeds udp_mem[0].
Therefor, udp_mem[0] is the only one that limit the number of pages.
However, the document of udp_mem just express that udp_mem[2] is the
limitation. So, just fix it.

udp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
Number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.
- min: Below this number of pages UDP is not bothered about its
- memory appetite. When amount of memory allocated by UDP exceeds
- this number, UDP starts to moderate memory usage.
+ min: Number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.
pressure: This value was introduced to follow format of tcp_mem.
- max: Number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.
+ max: This value was introduced to follow format of tcp_mem.
Default is calculated at boot time from amount of available memory.
