Update the RHEL_DIFFERENCES help string

It was pointed out that the kconfig for RHEL_DIFFERENCES did not match
the intention of the kconfig no more.  Update the text to reflect the
current usage.

-	  Red Hat may choose to deprecate certain features in its kernels.
-	  Enable this option to remove support for hardware that is no
-	  longer supported.
+	  This option makes it simple to disable RHEL-only code to compare
+	  with upstream.  RHEL-only code is necessary for RHEL features but
+	  unnecessary for Fedora.  Disabling allows the Fedora community to
+	  compile code closer to upstream.
 
-	  Unless you want a restricted kernel, say N here.
+	  Unless you want to enable RHEL-only features, say N here.
