arm64: update stale PAGE_OFFSET comment
Commit ab893fb9f1b17f02 ("arm64: introduce KIMAGE_VADDR as the virtual base of the kernel region") logically split KIMAGE_VADDR from PAGE_OFFSET, and since commit f9040773b7bbbd9e ("arm64: move kernel image to base of vmalloc area") the two have been distinct values. Unfortunately, neither commit updated the comment above these definitions, which now erroneously states that PAGE_OFFSET is the start of the kernel image rather than the start of the linear mapping. This patch fixes said comment, and introduces an explanation of KIMAGE_VADDR.
