hugetlb: fix hugepages= entry in kernel-parameters.txt
The hugepages= entry in kernel-parameters.txt states that 1GB pages can
only be allocated at boot time and not freed afterwards. This is not
true since commit 944d9fec8d
("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page
allocation at runtime"), at least for x86_64.
Instead of adding arch-specifc observations to the hugepages= entry,
this commit just drops the out of date information. Further information
about arch-specific support and available features can be obtained in
the hugetlb documentation.
