[PATCH] nvme: Don't deter users from enabling hwmon support

[Jean Delvare]

I see no good reason for the "If unsure, say N" advice in the
description of the NVME_HWMON configuration option. It is not
dangerous, it does not select any other option, and has a fairly low
overhead.

As the option is already not enabled by default, further suggesting
hesitant users to not enable it is not useful anyway. Unlike some
other options where the description alone may not be sufficient for
users to make a decision, NVME_HWMON is pretty simple to grasp in my
opinion, so just let the user do what they want.

The initial commit probably used one of the other Kconfig options that
contained the same wording as a template. But okay, the overly cautious
description here looks fine to remove.
