In 'howto' chapter, we point users to 'SubmittingPatches' file in the
Linux source tree to let them know the detailed contribution process.
The file is now converted to a '.rst' file and the rendered 'html' page
is available at 'kernel.org'. Using the link to the page would be

then reading the 'SubmittingPatches' file, which now only directs reader
to the '.rst' file. For the reason, this commit makes the change.
