Documentation: fix outdated interpretation of ip_no_pmtu_disc
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The updating way of pmtu has changed, but documentation is still in the
old way. So this patch updates the interpretation of ip_no_pmtu_disc and
min_pmtu.

See commit 28d35bc ("net: ipv4: don't let PMTU updates increase
route MTU")
