From: "W. Trevor King" wking@tremily.us Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2018 15:24:59 -0800 Subject: security/Kconfig: Correct the Documentation reference for PTI
From: W. Trevor King wking@tremily.us
commit a237f762681e2a394ca67f21df2feb2b76a3609b upstream.
When the config option for PTI was added a reference to documentation was added as well. But the documentation did not exist at that point. The final documentation has a different file name.
Fix it up to point to the proper file.
