[SCSI] Update wording of CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN help
I had to set CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN to y in order to get my SE W595
working when plugging it as a mass storage. Looking at SCSI option to
get a phone behaving correctly was convoluted to say the least. There
are quite a few other reports about USB card readers needing this option
as well. This patch improves the help text to make the use of the option
more obvious.
