[PATCH] TIPC: add Kconfig help text

[Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com>]

A new option such as TIPC should have a clear help text (as should any 
option for that matter) so users have a chance of determining if they 
want the option enabled or not without having to do extensive online 
searches.
Since this is likely to puzzle a lot of people doing "make oldconfig" 
with 2.6.16 using their old 2.6.15 .config I think the patch below (or 
a similar one) should go in before 2.6.16 is released.

Please consider merging.
