[PATCH regression fix] x86: fix CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM prompt and help text

[Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>]

Here is an attempt to translate the prompt and help text into something
which is legible and, as a bonus, correct.

Bogosity already reported on May 4.

Besides, AFAICT it is a security option, not a debug option, hence
misplaced in Kconfig.debug.  It would be an actual debug option if the
logic was the inverse:  PROMISC_DEVMEM, bool "Promiscuous /dev/mem".
