From: Cunhao Lu <1579567540@qq.com>

The SocketCAN, ISO-TP and J1939 documents and the CAN driver documentation
directory match the broad Documentation/networking/ pattern in
NETWORKING [GENERAL]. This makes get_maintainer.pl select netdev and the
general networking maintainers for these CAN-specific documentation
changes.

Exclude these paths from NETWORKING [GENERAL], as is already done for
net/can/ and the CAN selftests. Add the driver documentation directory
to CAN NETWORK DRIVERS to cover files without a dedicated CAN entry.

Changes in v2:
