[PATCH v2 2/2] docs: disable KASLR when debugging kernel

[Zhouyi Zhou]

commit 6807c84652b0 ("x86: Enable KASLR by default") enables KASLR
by default on x86. While KASLR will confuse gdb which resolve kernel 
symbol address from symbol table of vmlinux. We should turn off KASLR for
kernel debugging.
