[PATCH] correctly name the Shell sort

[PATCH] correctly name the Shell sort

[Daniel Dickman]

As per http://www.nist.gov/dads/HTML/shellsort.html, this should be referred to
as a Shell sort. Shell-Metzner is a misnomer.

This patch was previously sent on 2005-02-13:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110826336917607&w=2

It still applies against 2.6.12-rc1-bk1.

Kernel patches, unless they are very big, should be submitted
inline, as part of the email text, not via a link.

Simple patches that are not urgent can be submitted to the
Trivial Patch Monkey - trivial@rustcorp.com.au.

See Documentation/SubmittingPatches for more details on the
above.
