Subject: [PATCH] x86/kconfig: remove misleading note regarding hibernation and KASLR

From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@...s.com>

There used to be a restriction with KASLR and hibernation, but this is no
longer true, and since commit 65fe935dd238 ("x86/KASLR, x86/power: Remove
x86 hibernation restrictions") the parameter "kaslr" does no longer exist.
