cipso: Fix documentation comment

The CIPSO protocol engine incorrectly stated that the FIPS-188 specification
could be found in the kernel's Documentation directory. This patch corrects
that by removing the comment and directing users to the FIPS-188 documented
hosted online. For the sake of completeness I've also included a link to the
CIPSO draft specification on the NetLabel website.

Thanks to Randy Dunlap for spotting the error and letting me know.
