patch

This proposed caveat is based on the reply message that the user Konstantin Belousov posted on the hackers@ ML: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2016-July/049710.html

I think, since kinfo_getvmmap(3) consumes unexpectedly a lot of CPU this is worth mentioning in the man page.
