Cong Wang 064257ca93 netdev-FAQ: clarify DaveM's position for stable backports 
[ Upstream commit 75d4e704fa8d2cf33ff295e5b441317603d7f9fd ]

Per discussion with David at netconf 2018, let's clarify
DaveM's position of handling stable backports in netdev-FAQ.

This is important for people relying on upstream -stable
releases.
