[PATCH] ublk: don't suggest CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UBLK=Y

The CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UBLK help text suggests setting the config option to
Y so task_work_add() can be used to dispatch I/O, improving performance.
However, this mechanism was removed in commit 29dc5d06613f2 ("ublk: kill
queuing request by task_work_add"). So remove this paragraph from the
config help text.

io_uring based userspace block driver. Together with ublk server, ublk
has been working well, but interface with userspace or command data
definition isn't finalized yet, and might change according to future
requirement, so mark is as experimental now.

- Say Y if you want to get better performance because task_work_add()
- can be used in IO path for replacing io_uring cmd, which will become
- shared between IO tasks and ubq daemon, meantime task_work_add() can
- can handle batch more effectively, but task_work_add() isn't exported
- for module, so ublk has to be built to kernel.
