Subject[patch 47/54] IPV4: Correct rp_filter help text.
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

As mentioned in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5015
The helptext implies that this is on by default.
This may be true on some distros (Fedora/RHEL have it enabled
in /etc/sysctl.conf), but the kernel defaults to it off.
