Subject: [PATCH] rculist.h: docu: fix wrong function summary

The brief summary in the docstring for function list_next_or_null_rcu()
states that the function is supposed to provide the "first" member of a
list, whereas in truth it returns the next member.

Change the docstring so it describes what the function actually does.
