readv.2: Minor fixes (part 2) to Will Manley's patch
Mainly: I generally don't want us to be including URLs to mailing list discussions in a manual page. Either, the issue in the discussion is worth writing up in the manual page (so that the reader doesn't have to look elsewhere), or the details are less important, in which case it is sufficient to note the existence of the bug. I think this is an example of the latter. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
