LoongArch: Update help info of ARCH_STRICT_ALIGN

Browse Source 
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the current description is out of date to some extent.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.

If you want to make sure whether to support unaligned memory access
on your hardware, please read the bit 20 (UAL) of CPUCFG1 register.
This option is enabled by default to make the kernel be able to run
on all LoongArch systems. But you can disable it manually if you want
