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.]

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. |
