Krzysztof Kozlowski e36a7b1e17 docs: submitting-patches: Clarify that removal of Acks needs explanation too
The paragraph mentions only removal of Tested-by and Reviewed-by tags as
action needing mentioning in patch changelog, so some developers treat
it too literally.  Acks, as a weaker form of review/approval, should
rarely be removed, but if that happens it should be explained as well.
