[PATCH] SubmittingPatches: fix an inconsistency

From: slavomir vlcek <hidden>

Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

The 'SubmittingPatches' document contains a small inconsistency
 in a patch-email sending procedure.

Not a big thing,
but a newcomer could get confused.

Please,
also consider adding the definition/explanation for all the branches available
at the beginning of this document (and maybe even what their names stand for).
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] SubmittingPatches: fix an inconsistency

At line 213 there was an instruction:
  "re-send it with "To:" set to the maintainer [*1*] and "cc:" the list [*2*]"

and this instruction got repeated once more in the document (line 340):
  "Send it to the list and cc the maintainer."

This inconsistency was solved by editing the second occurance.
