Summary

Added documentation for Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) support in default security group and updated EBS CSI Driver link phrasing

Security assessment

The EFA-related change adds documentation about security group rules allowing intra-cluster EFA traffic, which is a security-relevant network configuration. However, this is a feature enhancement rather than a security fix. The EBS CSI Driver link change is non-security terminology.
