[PATCH] ip: update the description of rp_filter in ip-sysctl.txt

[Shan Wei]

The commit 27fed4175acf81ddd91d9a4ee2fd298981f60295
（ip: fix logic of reverse path filter sysctl）has changed the logic of rp_filter.
The document about rp_filter is out of date. Now, setting conf/all/rp_filte with 0 
can also enable source validation.  

Update the document according to the commit.
