coccinelle: misc: update uninitialized_var.cocci documentation
Remove the documentation link from the warning message because commit 3942ea7a10c9 ("deprecated.rst: Remove now removed uninitialized_var") removed the section from documentation. Update the rule documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Denis Efremov <efremov@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@inria.fr>
