It's been a few releases since this defaulted to /sbin/hotplug. Update
the text, and include pointers to the two CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER{,_PATH}
config knobs whose help text could provide more info, but also hint
that the user probably doesn't need to care at all.
Fixes: 7934779a69f1 ("Driver-Core: disable /sbin/hotplug by default")

=======
Path for the hotplug policy agent.
-Default value is "``/sbin/hotplug``".
+Default value is ``CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH``, which in turn defaults
+to the empty string.
+
+This file only exists when ``CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER`` is enabled. Most
+modern systems rely exclusively on the netlink-based uevent source and
+don't need this.
