Explicitly state that enabling RCU_TRACE enables more tracepoints and not just "additional tracing".
Signed-off-by: Nikolay Borisov <kernel@kyup.com> ---
Hello Paul,
Following our latest conversation re. enabling RCU tracing I had to actually go and look into the code to see which option enables the additional tracepoints. I wasn't sure while reading the help of TRACE_RCU. So here is a patch which explicitly states that this enables additional tracepoints.
Apply it if you deem necessary it might be just me that thinks the description is not verbose enough.
