Documentation: admin-guide: fix a doc for efi_no_storage_paranoia the "5KB" instead of the "50%"

Browse source

The documentation for 'efi_no_storage_paranoia' incorrectly states
the kernel cannot use "more than 50%" of the EFI variable storage.

This percentage-based explanation has been outdated since commit
f8b8404337 ("Modify UEFI anti-bricking code") introduced a fixed 5KB
minimum reserve threshold (EFI_MIN_RESERVE) in
arch/x86/platform/efi/quirks.c. At that time, the documentation was not
updated to reflect this change.

Update the documentation to reflect the "5KB" instead of the "50%".
