Docs/driver-api/uio-howto: document mmap_prepare callback
The UIO howto still documents an mmap callback in struct uio_info.
That field was replaced by mmap_prepare, which takes a struct
vm_area_desc.
A UIO driver following the current howto no longer builds because
struct uio_info has no mmap member. Update the documented callback
signature and matching text to match the current API.
Fixes: 933f05f58ac6 ("uio: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare in uio_info")
