[PATCH] printk: fix wrong number of CPUs required to increase the ring buffer

[Sang-Heon Jeon <ekffu200098@gmail.com>]

The default LOG_BUF_SHIFT is 17, which means 128 KB, and
LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT is 12, which means 4 KB per CPU.

By default the ring buffer is increased when
(num_possible_cpus() - 1) * 4 KB > 64 KB, which requires 18 or more CPUs.

Fix the wrong comment and help text.
