docs: stable-kernel-rules: explain use of stable@kernel.org (w/o @vger.) 

Document when to use of stable@kernel.org instead of
stable@vger.kernel.org, as the two are easily mixed up and their
difference not explained anywhere[1].

@ -72,6 +72,10 @@ for stable trees, add this tag in the sign-off area::
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Use ``Cc: stable@kernel.org`` instead when fixing unpublished vulnerabilities:
it reduces the chance of accidentally exposing the fix to the public by way of
'git send-email', as mails sent to that address are not delivered anywhere.
Once the patch is mainlined it will be applied to the stable tree without
anything else needing to be done by the author or subsystem maintainer.
