Subject: [PATCH v2 03/10] Documentation/kdbus: fix operator precedence issue in KDBUS_ITEM_NEXT macro

`item' argument in KDBUS_ITEM_NEXT macro example is not enclosed into
parentheses when the cast operator is applied, which leads to improper
type conversion if `item' is supplied as a complex expression, e.g.

    KDBUS_ITEM_NEXT(condition ? a : b)

Use parentheses properly to guarantee right precedence.
