docs: admin: devices: drop confusing outdated statement on Latex
The statement that the Latex version of Linux Device List is unmaintained, must go back to some historic time where there were actually two separate document sources, one in a txt format and another in a tex format (maybe even just on lanana.org). Nowadays, html and tex are generated from the ReST document file and the statement might be confused, believing the actual generated LaTeX document from the maintained ReST document could be an unmaintained one. Remove this statement on the LaTeX version and only keep pointing out that the version on lanana.org is no longer maintained.
