[PATCH] Clarify CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO's bloaty nature

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Hold down when it makes sense to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO and when
CONFIG_KALLSYMS suffices.

 	  This adds debug symbols to the kernel and modules (gcc -g), and
 	  is needed if you intend to use kernel crashdump or binary object
 	  tools like crash, kgdb, LKCD, gdb, etc on the kernel.
-	  Say Y here only if you plan to debug the kernel.

 	  If unsure, say N.
