Subject: [PATCH 3/5] kmemtrace: fix kernel parameter documentation

From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@...helsinki.fi>

The kmemtrace.enable kernel parameter no longer works. To enable
kmemtrace at boot-time, you must pass "ftrace=kmemtrace" instead.

[ Impact: remove obsolete kernel parameter documentation ]
