[PATCH v2 14/14] docs: netdev: drop references to the securit list in the doc

[Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>]

The netdev maintainer profile asks reporters of bugs with possible
security implications to use the public lists, which is consistent with
the way most of these bugs are handled, but it says nothing about
reproducers, and its suggested alternatives contradict security-bugs.rst:
it points to the security team's address, and to the linux-distros list
which must not be contacted before a fix is accepted. This text has been
left unchanged since 2013 when security reports were not yet a problem,
just because it remained unnoticed during the security doc refactoring.

Instead of making a special case of security fixes, let's just drop
this outdated section entirely, so that readers refer to the usual docs.
