drm/atomic-helper: Make zpos property kerneldoc less misleading

kerneldoc for drm_plane_create_zpos_property() says that the DRM core
will automatically calculate the normalized zpos values, but it doesn't
actually do that anymore since commit 38d868e41c4b ("drm: Don't force
all planes to be added to the state due to zpos"). Instead, drivers are
supposed to explicitly call the drm_atomic_normalize_zpos() function.
Change the kerneldoc comment to reflect that.

v2: reference the commit that introduced the kerneldoc unclarity

  * This function initializes generic mutable zpos property and enables support

+ * should be set to 0 and max to maximal number of planes for given crtc - 1.

  * If zpos of some planes cannot be changed (like fixed background or
  * cursor/topmost planes), driver should adjust min/max values and assign those
