[PATCH] Documentation: sysrq: update description about sysrq crash

From: Gao Xiang
Date: Tue Mar 09 2021 - 14:17:46 EST


After commit 8341f2f222d7 ("sysrq: Use panic() to force a crash"),
a crash was not generated by dereferencing a NULL pointer anymore.

Let's update documentation as well to make it less misleading.
