rcutorture: Remove outdated config option description

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE was removed by commit 4e9a073f60367
("torture: Remove CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE, simplify code"),
but the documentation was not updated accordingly.  This commit therefore
updates the documentation to reflect CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE's
removal and to add a description for the alternative module parameter.

-It is also possible to specify CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y, which will
-result in the tests being loaded into the base kernel.  In this case,
-the CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE config option is used to specify
-whether the RCU torture tests are to be started immediately during
-boot or whether the /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable file is used
-to enable them.  This /proc file can be used to repeatedly pause and
-restart the tests, regardless of the initial state specified by the
-CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE config option.
-
-You will normally -not- want to start the RCU torture tests during boot
-(and thus the default is CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=n), but doing
-this can sometimes be useful in finding boot-time bugs.
