Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] bpf: Add some description about BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON in Kconfig

When CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is enabled, /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
is permanently set to 1 and setting any other value than that will return
in failure.

Add the above description in the help text of config BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON, and
then we can distinguish between BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON and BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON.
