[TCP]: Update references in two old comments
This updates references to drafts in comments which must be about 10 years old. Internet draft draft-ietf-tcpimpl-prob-03.txt expired in 1998 and was replaced by RFC 2525 in March 1999. Section 3.10 of the draft maps almost identically into section 2.17 of RFC 2525: both are entitled "Failure to RST on close with data pending", the differences in text body amount to a typo and minor sentence change. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
