printk: Document that CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY required for boot_delay=

Document the fact that CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY must be enabled for the
"boot_delay" kernel parameter to work.  Also mention that "lpj=" may be
necessary.

boot_delay= Milliseconds to delay each printk during boot.
Values larger than 10 seconds (10000) are changed to
no delay (0).
Only works if CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY is enabled,
and you may also have to specify "lpj=". Boot_delay
values larger than 10 seconds (10000) are assumed
erroneous and ignored.
