Subject: powerpc/ftrace: Fix confusing help text for DISABLE_MPROFILE_KERNEL

From: Anton Blanchard <[email protected]>

commit 496e9cb5b2aa2ba303d2bbd08518f9be2219ab4b upstream.

The final paragraph of the help text is reversed. We want to enable this option by default, and disable it if the toolchain has a working -mprofile-kernel.

Fixes 8c50b72a3b4f ("powerpc/ftrace: Add Kconfig & Make glue for mprofile-kernel")
