Docs/mm: Fix a mistake for pfn in page_tables.rst
The documentation incorrectly calculate the pfn value as 0x3fffff, which should be 0x3ffff instead. It is obtained by right-shifting 0xffffc000 by 14 bits. This patch corrects the value to prevent any potential confusion for developers referencing this document.

As you can see, with 4KB pages the page base address uses bits 12-31 of the
3535
address, and this is why `PAGE_SHIFT` in this case is defined as 12 and
