[PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/4] Kconfig help needs to say that TREE_PREEMPT_RCU scales down

From: Paul E. McKenney

To quote Valdis:

This leaves somebody who has a laptop wondering which choice
is best for a system with only one or two cores that has
CONFIG_PREEMPT defined. One choice says it scales down nicely,
the other explicitly has a 'depends on PREEMPT' attached to it...

So add "scales down nicely" to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU to match that of
TREE_RCU.
