[PATCH] ppc64: CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig help fix

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

From: Robert Love <rml@ximian.com>

arch/ppc64/Kconfig's entry for CONFIG_PREEMPT is missing the description
after the "bool" statement, so the entry does not show up.

Also, the help description mentions a restriction that is not [any longer]
true.
