efi: runtime-maps: Clarify purpose and enable by default for kexec
The current Kconfig logic for CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_MAPS does not convey
that without it, a kexec kernel is not able to boot in EFI mode at all.
So clarify this, and make the option only configurable via the menu
system if CONFIG_EXPERT is set.
