[PATCH] ppc64: CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig help fix

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

From: Robert Love <rml@ximian.com>

arch/ppc64/Kconfig's entry for CONFIG_PREEMPT is missing the description
after the "bool" statement, so the entry does not show up.

Also, the help description mentions a restriction that is not [any longer]
true.

This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
Unfortunately the kernel code has some race conditions if both
CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_PREEMPT are enabled, so this option is
currently disabled if you are building an SMP kernel.
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
