Subject: [PATCH doc/rcu 0/2] Fix docbook regression

Hello, Linus,

Commit 764f80798b95 ("doc: Add RCU files to docbook-generation files"),
which is in v4.14-rc1, added :external: options for RCU source files
in the file Documentation/core-api/kernel-api.rst.  However, this now
means nothing, and furthermore breaks builds of the docbook, which has
led to popular demand for this to be fixed in v4.14:

	lkml.kernel.org/r/20171018100340.7f34aace@....net

This series therefore contains the following two patches:

1.	Remove the erroneous :external: options.

2.	Fix the many docbook build complaints that have crept into RCU's
	docbook comment headers.  These fixes include one non-comment
	change where the name of rcu_sync_func()'s argument is changed
	to match RCU convention.

							Thanx, Paul
