batman-adv: Fix description for BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG

The debug messages of batman-adv are not printed to the kernel log at all but can be stored (depending on the compile setting) in the tracing buffer or the batadv specific log buffer. There is also no debug module parameter but a batadv netdev specific log_level setting to enable/disable different classes of debug messages at runtime.
