docs: submitting-patches: clarify the role of LKML

Browse source 
The documentation previously stated that LKML should be used as *last
resort*. However, scripts/get_maintainer.pl always suggests it and in a
discussion about changing that[0] it turned out that LKML should in fact
receive all patches.

Update documentation to make it clear that all patches should be sent to
LKML by default, in addition to any subsystem-specific lists.

You should also normally choose at least one mailing list to receive a copy
of your patch set. linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org functions as a list of
last resort, but the volume on that list has caused a number of developers
to tune it out. Look in the MAINTAINERS file for a subsystem-specific
list; your patch will probably get more attention there. Please do not
spam unrelated lists, though.
