Subject: docs: mm: clarify that user_reserve_kbytes has no effect when overcommit_memory is set to 0 or 1

Looking at __vm_enough_memory() in mm/util.c, user_reserve_kbytes has no
effect when overcommit_memory is set to 0 or 1. The documentation for
overcommit_memory already references user_reserve_kbytes when the flag
is set to 2.

Let's go ahead and add a clarification to user_reserve_kbytes in vm.rst
that it has no effect when overcommit_memory is set to 0 or 1.
