Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: add documentation of sysctls of error_cost and error_burst

From: xu xin <xu.xin16@....com.cn>

The descriptions of error_cost and error_burst sysctls are missing.
So add the descriptions of them in the documentation ip-sysctl.rst.

 	From linux kernel 3.6 onwards, this is deprecated for ipv4
 	as route cache is no longer used.
 
+route/error_cost - INTEGER
+	The minimum time interval between two consecutive ICMP-DEST-

+route/error_burst - INTEGER
+	Together with error_cost, it controls the max number of burstly

 	Minimum number of entries to keep.  Garbage collector will not
