Florian Westphal 2af8ff1e47 net: Kconfig: discourage drop_monitor enablement ...

Quoting Eric Dumazet:
"I do not understand the fascination with net/core/drop_monitor.c [..]
misses all the features, flexibility, scalability  that 'perf',
eBPF tracing, bpftrace, .... have today."

Reword DROP_MONITOR kconfig help text to clearly state that its not
related to perf-based drop monitoring and that its safe to disable
this unless support for the older netlink-based tools is needed.
