[PATCH 2/9] docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the bau= entry

bau= went away with commit 39297dde7390 ("x86/platform/uv: Remove UV
BAU TLB Shootdown Handler"); nothing parses it any more.

Drop the entry.

Found by cross-checking every documented name against the __setup(),
early_param() and core_param() registrations in the tree.
