docs/dev-tools: fix a typo 



fix a typo in dev-tools/kmsan.rst

[jc: this is not really a typo, but "iff" is clearly a confusing construct
for non-native speakers; changing it will prevent people from trying to
"fix" it repeatedly.]

-------------------



KMSAN associates a metadata byte (also called shadow byte) with every byte of

kernel memory. A bit in the shadow byte is set iff the corresponding bit of the

kernel memory. A bit in the shadow byte is set if the corresponding bit of the

kernel memory byte is uninitialized. Marking the memory uninitialized (i.e.

setting its shadow bytes to ``0xff``) is called poisoning, marking it

initialized (setting the shadow bytes to ``0x00``) is called unpoisoning.
