docs: Don't mention "-mem-path" in multi-process.rst

Browse source 
"-mem-path" corresponds to "memory-backend-file,share=off" and,
therefore, creates a private COW mapping of the file. For multi-proces
QEMU, we need proper shared file-backed memory.

Let's make that clearer.

@ -409,8 +409,9 @@ the initial messages sent to the emulation process is a guest memory
table. Each entry in this table consists of a file descriptor and size
that the emulation process can ``mmap()`` to directly access guest
memory, similar to ``vhost_user_set_mem_table()``. Note guest memory
must be backed by file descriptors, such as when QEMU is given the
*-mem-path* command line option.
must be backed by shared file-backed memory, for example, using
*-object memory-backend-file,share=on* and setting that memory backend
as RAM for the machine.
