docs: submitting-patches: Suggest a longer expected time for responses

While some subsystems do typically have very fast turnaround times on
review this is far from standard over the kernel and is likely to set
unrealistic expectations for submitters.  Tell submitters to expect 2-3
weeks instead, this will cover more of the kernel.

Once upon a time, patches used to disappear into the void without comment,
but the development process works more smoothly than that now. You should
receive comments within a week or so; if that does not happen, make sure
that you have sent your patches to the right place. Wait for a minimum of
one week before resubmitting or pinging reviewers - possibly longer during
busy times like merge windows.
