Subject: [PATCH 5/5] tracing/user_events: Add auto-del flag documentation
There is now a flag for user_events to use when registering events to
auto delete events upon the last reference put. Add the new flag,
USER_EVENT_REG_AUTO_DEL, to user_events documentation files to let
people know how to use it.
