Commit dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory") added a
entry to meminfo but did not document it in the proc.rst file.

This counter tracks the amount of "Unaccepted" guest memory for some
Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP.

Add the missing entry in the documentation.

I was wondering if we could be clearer like

"Memory that has not been accepted. Especially in some confidential VM 
implementations, memory must be accepted manually by the guest OS before 
it can be used the first time."

In any case

I actually grappled with the description for longer than I'd like to
admit lol. I wanted to add more but *most* others left the description
short-- so I tried to make it short too.
