[PATCH NET-NEXT] net: Kill unuseful net/TUNABLE doc in kernel source

[PATCH NET-NEXT] net: Kill unuseful net/TUNABLE doc in kernel source

[Shan Wei]

File net/TUNABLE has never be updated since git age.

For some tunable parameters which user can control with proc file-system,
They are all in ip-sysctl.txt doc.

For tunable parameters that only at compile time, no meaning to note them.
