Subject: [PATCH 4/5] nohz: Improve a bit the full dynticks Kconfig documentation

Remove the "single task" statement from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
title. The constraint can be invalidated when tasks from
other sched classes than SCHED_FAIR are running. Moreover
it's possible that hrtick join the party in the future.

Also add a line about the dependency on SMP.
