[PATCH] perform maintenance on Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt

Updates to Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt:

- there's no need to select HUGETLB_PAGE manually and it's no longer
  under the processor menu.  Update the text accordingly.

- fix typos and trim trailing whitespace.

Users can use the huge page support in Linux kernel by either using the mmap
system call or standard SYSv shared memory system calls (shmget, shmat).
First the Linux kernel needs to be built with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE (present
under Processor types and feature) and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS (present under file
system option on config menu) config options.

automatically when CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is selected) configuration

The kernel built with hugepage support should show the number of configured
hugepages in the system by running the "cat /proc/meminfo" command.
