lib/base64: fix copy-pasted @padding doc in base64_decode()
The @padding kernel-doc for base64_decode() says "whether to append '=' padding characters", which was copy-pasted from base64_encode(). In the decode context, it controls whether the input is expected to include padding, not whether to append it.
