Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/locking/locktypes: fix local_locks documentation

Fix issues with local_locks documentation:
- fix function names, local_lock.h has local_unlock_irqrestore(),
not local_lock_irqrestore()
- fix mapping table, local_unlock_irqrestore() maps to local_irq_restore(),
not _save()
