Documentation/SubmitChecklist: update kernel-doc task
Task 11 (kernel-doc) still mentions usage of make manpages, but this won't work if the API is documented via Sphinx. So, update it to use either htmldocs or pdfdocs, with are the documentation targets that work for all. While here, add ReST reference to the kernel documentation book.
