Documentation: update stable review cycle documentation

2022-03-18T13:32:49+00:00

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.
