mseal: update mseal.rst

Pedro Falcato's optimization [1] for checking sealed VMAs, which replaces
the can_modify_mm() function with an in-loop check, necessitates an update
to the mseal.rst documentation to reflect this change.

Furthermore, the document has received offline comments regarding the code
sample and suggestions for sentence clarification to enhance reader
comprehension.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240817-mseal-depessimize-v3-0-d8d2e037df30@gmail.com/

Update doc after in-loop change: mprotect/madvise can have
partially updated and munmap is atomic.

Fix indentation and clarify some sections to improve readability.
