[PATCH] Documentation/security-bugs: provide more information about linux-distros

[Sasha Levin]

Provide more information about how to interact with the linux-distros
mailing list for disclosing security bugs.

First, clarify that the reporter must read and accept the linux-distros
policies prior to sending a report.

Second, clarify that the reported must provide a tentative public
disclosure date and time in his first contact with linux-distros.

 Fixes for sensitive bugs, such as those that might lead to privilege
 escalations, may need to be coordinated with the private

-upstream fix. Distros will need some time to test the proposed patch and
