Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Documentation/robust-futex-API: remove alternative language

The man-pages as well as robust-futexes.txt use the word
"contend" for a situation where two threads try to access
the same futex at the same time.

To avoid confusion robust-futex-API.txt should not use
"contest" as alternative language.
