pktgen: Correct documentation of module name and command
Drop the '.o' suffix so this text properly covers both the built-in and modular cases. 'insmod pktgen' obviously won't work; the command should be modprobe. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

+Enable CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN to compile and build pktgen either in-kernel
+or as a module. A module is preferred; modprobe pktgen if needed. Once
running, pktgen creates a thread for each CPU with affinity to that CPU.
Monitoring and controlling is done via /proc. It is easiest to select a
suitable sample script and configure that.
