Paul Menzel 0f7636e165 init/Kconfig: Fix CPU number in LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT description
Currently, LOG_BUF_SHIFT defaults to 17, which is 2 ^ 17 bytes = 128 KB,
and LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT defaults to 12, which is 2 ^ 12 bytes = 4 KB.

Half of 128 KB is 64 KB, so more than 16 CPUs are required for the value
to be used, as then the sum of contributions is greater than 64 KB for
the first time. My guess is, that the description was written with the
configuration values used in the SUSE in mind.

Fixes: 23b2899f7f ("printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
