m68k: reword ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER prompt and help text

The prompt and help text of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER are not even close to
describe this configuration option.

Update both to actually describe what this option does.

help
The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large
blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
increase this value.
The kernel page allocator limits the size of maximal physically
contiguous allocations. The limit is called MAX_ORDER and it
defines the maximal power of two of number of pages that can be
allocated as a single contiguous block. This option allows
overriding the default setting when ability to allocate very
large blocks of physically contiguous memory is required.
For systems that have holes in their physical address space this
value also defines the minimal size of the hole that allows
freeing unused memory map.
Don't change if unsure.
