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.]

··· 133 133 ------------------- 134 134 135 135 KMSAN associates a metadata byte (also called shadow byte) with every byte of 136 - kernel memory. A bit in the shadow byte is set iff the corresponding bit of the 136 + kernel memory. A bit in the shadow byte is set if the corresponding bit of the 137 137 kernel memory byte is uninitialized. Marking the memory uninitialized (i.e. 138 138 setting its shadow bytes to ``0xff``) is called poisoning, marking it 139 139 initialized (setting the shadow bytes to ``0x00``) is called unpoisoning.
