PATCH 1/1 terminology in ip-sysctl.txt

Hello,

this minor patch fixes the description of net.ipv4.tcp_mem sysctl in ip-sysctl.txt - the headline names the values "min, pressure, max", while the description uses the "low, pressure, high" values. Both tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem descriptions use the "min, pressure, max" values, so I have changed the tcp_mem to match this and not vice versa.
