Subject[PATCH] x86/vsyscall: Fix documentation to reflect the default mode
Date
The default vsyscall mode has been updated from emulate to xonly for a
while. Update the kernel-parameters doc to reflect that.

Fixes: 625b7b7f79c6 ("x86/vsyscall: Change the default vsyscall mode to xonly")
Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

Do documentation fixes typically get backported to stable? I haven't included
a stable cc assuming they do not.
