I found these by running 'make docs-check' locally.  The result might
depend on the sphinx version though as I do not remember seeing these
errors in the past.  I have Sphinx 4.4.0 right now.

There is also 'make check-docs' (horrible naming :D ) that invokes the
full link check and it can detect broken links, redirects or unavailable
resources as it actually queries these links.  For example, we currently
have a broken link to iproute2 git in the docs...

The line between _ and __ is a bit blurry and in most cases they give
the same result, so I'm not sure if we need to fix the links which are
not actually broken.

Thanks!  Applied and backported down to 2.17.
