Documentation: ioctl-number: Update outdated submission info

Much like device numbers that used to be assigned by LANANA (see commit
ebdf4040c16df5 ("Documentation: update the devices.txt documentation"),
ioctl numbers list is maintained by general kernel community nowadays
instead of contacting Michael directly as he's long stepped down from
kernel-related activity (his last LKML message was from 2003 [1] and
he's in CREDITS since the beginning of kernel's git history). Also,
patch (including one to update ioctl numbers list) submission now
follows process as described in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst rather than sending
patches directly to Linus as in the distant past.

Update the docs to reflect that.
