[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/5] rcu: Update RCU_FAST_NO_HZ help text

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@xxxxxxxxxx>

The RCU_FAST_NO_HZ help text included a warning about overhead on large
systems, but that issue has since been resolved.  The main remaining
issue with RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is increased real-time latency.  This commit
therefore updates the help text accordingly.
