lib: add note about process exit message for DEBUG_STACK_USAGE 

DEBUG_STACK_USAGE doesn't only have an influence on the output of sysrq-T
and sysrq-P, it also enables a message at process exit.  See
check_stack_usage() in kernel/exit.c where this is implemented.

help
Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
Also emits a message to dmesg when a process exits if that process
used more stack space than previously exiting processes.
This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
