mm: fix docs for the kernel parameter ``thp_anon=``

If we add ``thp_anon=32,64K:always`` to the kernel command line, we
will see the following error:

[    0.000000] huge_memory: thp_anon=32,64K:always: error parsing string, ignoring setting

This happens because the correct format isn't ``thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<state>```,
as [KMG] must follow each number to especify its unit. So, the correct
format is ``thp_anon=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<state>```.

Therefore, adjust the documentation to reflect the correct format of the
parameter ``thp_anon=``.
