pivot_root.2: Fix a technical detail 

In this text:

        If the current root is not a mount point (e.g., after an
        earlier chroot(2) or pivot_root())...

mention of pivot_root() makes no sense, since (as noted in an
earlier commit message for this page) 'new_root' in a previous
pivot_root() must (since Linux 2.4.5) have been a mount point.
