[PATCH v2] checkpatch: add information on warning about `help` in Kconfig

[Gabriela Bittencourt]

When writing a short help paragraph for a new KConfig option, developers
are prompted the following warning:

`please write a help paragraph that fully describes the config symbol`

However, developers might get confused about this message, giving that
they do have written a help paragraph, but checkpatch is not happy about
it, which can be perceived as a false positive. That happens because
checkpatch considers a fully descriptive paragraph one if at least
`$min_conf_desc_length` lines (as of now, 4 lines).

To make the warning more clear, output in the message the expected
length of the paragraph, so developers know better what checkpatch wants
from them.
