commit 6648bd7e0e62c0c8c03b (ipv4: Add sysctl knob to control
early socket demux) introduced such sysctl, but forgot to add
doc into Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt. This patch adds it.

Basically I grab the doc from the description of commit 41063e9dd11956f2d285
(ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.) and the above commit.
