[PATCH] loadpin: Fix stale KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG reference in documentation

[PATCH] loadpin: Fix stale KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG reference in documentation

[Karl Mehltretter]

Commit 99d5cadfde2b ("kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG
and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE") removed CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG but left the
LoadPin documentation pointing at it. Refer to CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG instead.

While at it, clean up the grammar of the sentence.

Fixes: 99d5cadfde2b ("kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE")
