[ Upstream commit 1921044eebf1d6861a6de1a76e3f63729a45e712 ]

Commit ae5b3500856f ("kstrtox: add support for enabled and disabled in
kstrtobool()") added support for 'e'/'E' (enabled) and 'd'/'D' (disabled)
inputs, but did not update the docstring accordingly.

Update the docstring to include 'Ee' (for true) and 'Dd' (for false) in
the list of accepted first characters.
