Migrate the patch verification tools section from the deprecated Ubuntu Wiki page Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide into the patch acceptance criteria reference.

The added section lists the upstream kernel tools used to check patches before submission:

  • Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
  • scripts/checkpatch.pl
  • scripts/cleanpatch
  • scripts/cleanfile
  • scripts/Lindent

The remaining content of KernelGitGuide is obsoleted by existing content.

  • Added or updated meta description (if this PR includes documentation changes)
  • Reviewed all GitHub Actions / CI results; any unresolved failures are explained in a comment
