Documentation/process: maintainer-soc: Be more explicit about defconfig
It is already documented but people still send noticeable amount of
patches ignoring the rule - get_maintainers.pl does not work on
arm64/configs/defconfig or any other shared ARM defconfig.
Be more explicit, that one must not rely on typical/simple approach
here for getting To/Cc list.
