Akira Yokosawa 83f71fbc66 docs: submitting-patches: Fix section structure around DCO ...

Commit 5903019b2a ("Documentation/SubmittingPatches: convert it to
ReST markup") made "DCO 1.1" a subsection under the section "Sign your
work - ...".  However, the DCO text is meant to be referenced in the
section.

Furthermore, in HTML and PDF docs, paragraphs following the DCO:

    then you just add a line saying:

        Signed-off-by: [...]

    [...]
    as it was propagated to the maintainers and ultimately to Linus, with
    the first SoB entry signalling primary authorship of a single author.

appear to belong to the DCO, rather than to "Sign your work - ..."
where it should.

In reST (and other documentation tools), once you start a subsection
under a section, there is no way to go back to the section.

Fix the section structure by making the DCO a literal block, with
indent changes made in commit 5903019b2a reverted.

While at it, fix the same issue at "Reviewer's statement of
oversight".
