[PATCH] powerpc/boot: Remove bogus reference to lilo

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Date: 2024-10-09 05:38:14

The help text refers to lilo, but the install script does not run lilo
and never has. The reference to lilo seems to have come originally from
arch/ppc/Makefile, but it was not true there either.

Remove it.
