> bpf: Use "new" URL to show if net-next is open

TL;DR: Nit in the docs URL update: the unchanged text still credits David S.
Miller for the status page, which may be inaccurate for the new
netdev.bots.linux.dev host; consider rewording or noting it in the changelog.

This isn't a bug, but the sentence introducing the URL is unchanged:

  page run by David S. Miller on net-next that provides guidance:

That attribution matched the old ~davem page on vger.kernel.org.  Is it
still accurate for the new host?

Commit 524500873802 ("docs: netdev: update the netdev infra URLs"), which
the changelog cites, describes netdev.bots.linux.dev as a new DNS entry for
the netdev infrastructure, and Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst
refers to the same page without naming David S. Miller.

Should the attribution be dropped or reworded, for example "a status page
maintained by the netdev infrastructure", or should the changelog mention
that the page is still run by David S. Miller?
