Faced a doc build warning that say netlink_spec/index.rst is not used.

$ git grep netlink_spec
Documentation/networking/mptcp.rst:netlink_spec/mptcp_pm.rst.
Documentation/translations/zh_CN/networking/index.rst:*   netlink_spec/index

I think we can remove the whole directory and change these, right?

Also got a doc build warning that says netlink/specs/index is not existing even
if it exists. Maybe a sphinx parsing issue ?!
