Documentation: refer to config RANDOMIZE_BASE for kernel address-space randomization

stable inclusion
from stable-v5.10.94
commit 5d38cbf66dd7df04f06be86d812c7e5861cd3a69
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9

--------------------------------

commit 82ca6732 upstream.

The config RANDOMIZE_SLAB does not exist, the authors probably intended to
refer to the config RANDOMIZE_BASE, which provides kernel address-space
randomization. They probably just confused SLAB with BASE (these two
four-letter words coincidentally share three common letters), as they also
point out the config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM as further randomization within
the same sentence.

Fix the reference of the config for kernel address-space randomization to
the config that provides that.
