fix(kernel): correct ttm params, add Bazzite pre-patched and SMU bypass notes

- Fix ttm.pages_limit and ttm.page_pool_size: 3776000 → 3959290
  (per mothenjoyer69's docs for >8GB shared memory)
- Add note that Bazzite already includes the frequency range patch
- Add note that SMU governor bypasses kernel patching entirely
- Clarify manual patching only needed for TT governor on non-Bazzite distros

If you're running Bazzite, the GPU frequency range patch is **already included in Bazzite's kernel**. You do NOT need to manually patch anything. Just install a governor and you're done.
!!!info "SMU Governor Bypasses Kernel Patching"
The `cyan-skillfish-governor-smu` manages clock speeds through SMU firmware calls and **does not require the kernel frequency range patch on ANY distro**. This is the easiest option for CachyOS, Arch, Fedora, or Debian users who don't want to compile a custom kernel. Install via AUR (`cyan-skillfish-governor-smu`) or COPR (`filippor/bazzite`).
