Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt: header

The header of Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt should not refer to
Linux 2.2 because most of the lines were changed after that
release.

The authors that placed a copyright notice produced less than
half of the lines. So give credit to the other authors.

Replace "legal blurb" by a more precise term.
