Will user ever get opportunity to say "Y" or "N"? It looks to me that
RESCTRL_FS will be "forced" on user as it is selected by the arch specific
config X86_CPU_RESCTRL and be invisble otherwise because of the dependency
on ARCH_HAS_CPU_RESCTRL. The text about when to select "Y" or "N" thus does
not look practical to me and it may be helpful to instead provide
information about when it is selected? I do not know the customs for this
text and if it is intended to document any future usages also.
