Trivial: docs: Remove six-space indentation in REPORTING-BUGS.

Browse Source 
Other paragraph format docs in Documentation don't use paragraph

Re-wrap the paragraphs, keeping the doc to a 74-character line length,
since that's what the original seemed to use.

Send the output to the maintainer of the kernel area that seems to be
involved with the problem, and cc the relevant mailing list. Don't worry
too much about getting the wrong person. If you are unsure send it to the
person responsible for the code relevant to what you were doing. If it
occurs repeatably try and describe how to recreate it. That is worth even

in the MAINTAINERS file in this directory. If you know the file name that
causes the problem you can use the following command in this directory to
