kernfs: modernize the explanation for bind mounting /dev 
If you are using a "modern" distro (with devtmpfs and a modern udev
implementation), a bind mounting is actually not needed because you can
mount devtmpfs anyway.  The only reason for bind mounting is to be
compatible with old host distros where /dev is a directory containing
many static device nodes, or is a tmpfs (not same as devtmpfs) popluated
by bootscript or an old udev (modern udev implementations, including
eudev and systemd-udev used by LFS, strictly requires a devtmpfs on
/dev).

So update the explanation to match the status quo.

LFS Book README

This document is meant to instruct the user on how to convert the book's XML
source to other formats (e.g. HTML, PDF, PS and TXT).  First, if you have not
already done so, please read the INSTALL file for instructions on how to install
the required software.  If you have already completed the steps outlined in the
INSTALL file, then continue reading for examples how to convert these files into
various other formats.

In all examples, setting the parameter REV=systemd is needed to build the
systemd version of the book.
