Subject: [PATCH] x86/stacktrace: update kconfig help text for reliable unwinders
Date:   Wed,  6 Nov 2019 17:43:44 -0500

commit 6415b38bae26 ("x86/stacktrace: Enable HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE
for the ORC unwinder") marked the ORC unwinder as a "reliable" unwinder.
Update the help text to reflect that change: the frame pointer unwinder
is no longer the only one that provides HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.
