[PATCH v5 3/3] docs: kernel-parameters.txt: document rand_mem_physical_padding

[Masayoshi Mizuma]

From: Masayoshi Mizuma <m.mizuma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This kernel parameter allows to change the padding used
for the physical memory mapping section when KASLR
memory is enabled.

For memory hotplug capable systems, the default padding size,
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING, may not be enough.
The option is useful to adjust the padding size.
