Remove reference to include/net which is no longer in the headers. NB the dated header tarball isn't showing up at cross-lfs yet.

31    years, the kernel developers have taken a strong stance that this
32    should not be done. This gave birth to the Linux-Libc-Headers Project,
33    which was designed to maintain an API stable version of the Linux
34    headers. Recently this project stopped producing updates, so the Cross-LFS
35    team started development on our own project to sanitize the headers.</para>
