Subject: [RFC] doc: fix code snippet build warnings

Posting as RFC in the hope that someone knows how to massage sphinx
correctly to fix this patch.

Currently function kernel-doc contains a multi-line code snippet. This
is causing sphinx to emit 5 build warnings

	WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
	WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
	WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
	WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
	WARNING: Inline literal start-string without end-string.

And the snippet is not rendering correctly in HTML.

We can stop shpinx complaining by using '::' instead of the currently
used '``' however this still does not render correctly in HTML. The
rendering is [arguably] better but still incorrect. Sphinx renders two
function calls thus:

	:c:func:`rcu_read_lock()`;

The rest of the snippet does however have correct spacing.

Use '::' to pre-fix code snippet. Clears build warnings but does not
render correctly.
