Documentation/kernel-docs.txt: Add 4 paper/book references

Background/Reasoning:

Books:
------
 * Linux Kernel Networking by Rami Rosen
   While some parts are quite short and could be
   more carefully explained it's still a good recomendation
   for understanding linux kernel networking, (IMHO)

* Linux Treiber entwickeln:
  It sure is a drawback that this is a german book.
  But it's quite recent, well structured and there are also
  other non-english (spanish) books/papers in this list.

Papers:
-------

  * On Submitting kernel Patches
    Contains 2 case studies of bigger patch sets and how (or how not)
    they were merged. I found it helpful

  * Tracing the Way of Data in a TCP Connection through the Linux Kernel
    Since this was written by me this inclusion may be a bit biased :p
    Neitherless I think this gives a good introduction on
    understanding/exploring linux internals using ftrace and an overview
    of Linux TCP internals.

+       :Description: A seminar paper explaining ftrace and how to use it for
+         understanding linux kernel internals,
+         illustrated at tracing the way of a TCP packet through the kernel.
+       :Abstract: *This short paper outlines the usage of ftrace a tracing framework
+         as a tool to understand a running Linux system.
+         Having obtained a trace-log a kernel hacker can read and understand
+         source code more determined and with context.
+         In a detailed example this approach is demonstrated in tracing
+         and the way of data in a TCP Connection through the kernel.
+         Finally this trace-log is used as base for more a exact conceptual
+         exploration and description of the Linux TCP/IP implementation.*
