LoongArch: Update help info of ARCH_STRICT_ALIGN
commit f5003098e2f337d8e8a87dc636250e3fa978d9ad upstream.
Loongson-3A6000 and 3C6000 CPUs also support unaligned memory access, so
the current description is out of date to some extent.
Actually, all of Loongson-3 series processors based on LoongArch support
unaligned memory access, this hardware capability is indicated by the bit
20 (UAL) of CPUCFG1 register, update the help info to reflect the reality.
