docs: update deprecation status for "overlay2.override_kernel_check"

Commit 955c1f881a
(v17.12.0) replaced detection of support for multiple lowerdirs (as required by
overlay2) to not depend on the kernel version. The `overlay2.override_kernel_check`
was still used to print a warning that older kernel versions may not have full
support.

After this, e226aea280
(v20.10, but backported to v19.03.7) removed uses of the option altogether.

### Support for the `overlay2.override_kernel_check` storage option
**Deprecated in Release: v19.03**
**Disabled in Release: v19.03**
This daemon configuration option disabled the Linux kernel version check used
to detect if the kernel supported OverlayFS with multiple lower dirs, which is
required for the overlay2 storage driver. Starting with Docker v19.03.7, the
detection was improved to no longer depend on the kernel _version_, so this
option was no longer used.
Docker v22.06 logs a warning in the daemon logs if this option is set, and
users should remove this option from their daemon configuration.

#### Overlay2 options
##### `overlay2.override_kernel_check`
Overrides the Linux kernel version check allowing overlay2. Support for
specifying multiple lower directories needed by overlay2 was added to the
Linux kernel in 4.0.0. However, some older kernel versions may be patched
to add multiple lower directory support for OverlayFS. This option should
only be used after verifying this support exists in the kernel. Applying
this option on a kernel without this support will cause failures on mount.
##### `overlay2.size`
Sets the default max size of the container. It is supported only when the
backing fs is `xfs` and mounted with `pquota` mount option. Under these
conditions the user can pass any size less then the backing fs size.
