Marc Herbert d9d25684e9 docs: make kptr_restrict and hash_pointers reference each other ...

vsprintf.c uses a mix of the `kernel.kptr_restrict` sysctl and the
`hash_pointers` boot param to control pointer hashing. But that wasn't
possible to tell without looking at the source code.

They have a different focus and purpose. To avoid wasting the time of
users trying to use one instead of the other, simply have them reference
each other in the Documentation.
