[PATCH 6/6] docs: Downgrade arm64 & riscv from titles to comment

Tue Jul 1 01:56:47 PDT 2025
Remove the title string ("====") from under arm64 & riscv and move them
to a commment under the perf_user_access sysctl. They are explanations,
*not* sysctls themselves
This effectively removes these two strings from appearing as not
implemented when the check-sysctl-docs script is run
