Documentation: RISC-V: patch-acceptance: mention patchwork's role
Palmer suggested at some point, not sure if it was in one of the weekly linux-riscv syncs, or a conversation at FOSDEM, that we should document the role of the automation running on our patchwork instance plays in patch acceptance. Add a short note to the patch-acceptance document to that end.

Patchwork

---------
21+
22+
RISC-V has a patchwork instance, where the status of patches can be checked:
23+
24+
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/
25+
26+
If your patch does not appear in the default view, the RISC-V maintainers have
27+
likely either requested changes, or expect it to be applied to another tree.
28+
29+
Automation runs against this patchwork instance, building/testing patches as
30+
they arrive. The automation applies patches against the current HEAD of the
31+
RISC-V `for-next` and `fixes` branches, depending on whether the patch has been
32+
detected as a fix. Failing those, it will use the RISC-V `master` branch.
33+
The exact commit to which a series has been applied will be noted on patchwork.
34+
Patches for which any of the checks fail are unlikely to be applied and in most
35+
cases will need to be resubmitted.
