ARM: 9212/1: domain: Modify Kconfig help text
After the removal of set_fs() the reference to set_fs() is stale. Alter the helptext to reflect what the config option really does. Fixes: 8ac6f5d ("ARM: 9113/1: uaccess: remove set_fs() implementation") Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>

domains from each other. In Linux we use three domains: kernel, user

manager or client roles to running code (such as a process).
