mm: correct misleading comment on mmap_lock field in mm_struct
The comment previously described the offset of mmap_lock as 0x120 (hex),
which is misleading. The correct offset is 56 bytes (decimal) from the
last cache line boundary. Using '0x120' could confuse readers trying to
understand why the count and owner fields reside in separate cachelines.
This change also removes an unnecessary space for improved formatting.
