[Buildroot] [git commit branch/2021.02.x] package/sunxi-mali-mainline-driver: update help section to make it work on Linux >= 4.20

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=03149de8ff93ca2483b7e79642442c17ab63479c
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2021.02.x

On Linux version >= 4.20 in order to have mali working we need to pass
drm_kms_helper.drm_leak_fbdev_smem=1 and at least
drm_kms_helper.drm_fbdev_overalloc=200 to have a double buffer fbdev.
