[PATCH 09/10] ioctl_userfaultfd.2: fix / update UFFDIO_REGISTER error code list

[Axel Rasmussen]

The list of error codes in the man page was out of date with respect to
the current state of the kernel. Some errors were partially /
incorrectly described.

Update the error code listing, so it matches the current state of the
kernel, and correctly describes all the errors.
