Bagas Sanjaya 88d99e8701 Documentation: update stable review cycle documentation
In recent times, the review cycle for stable releases have been changed.
In particular, there is release candidate phase between ACKing patches
and new stable release. Also, in case of failed submissions (fail to
apply to stable tree), manual backport (Option 3) have to be submitted
instead.

Update the release cycle documentation on stable-kernel-rules.rst to
reflect the above.

Johan Hovold cf903e9d3a Documentation: stable-kernel-rules: fix stable-tag format
A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should
be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the
kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used
prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question
was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment).

Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion.
