Sigh.

I've gotten a few variants of this patch over the years...I guess maybe
the time has come to apply one, so I did. If the word is too offensive
to be in our docs, though, perhaps it shouldn't be in the changelog
either, so I rewrote it:

docs: kernel-hacking: be more civil

Remove the f-bomb from locking.rst. Let's have a moment of silence,
though, as we mark the passing of the last of Rusty's once plentiful
profanities in this venerable document.

Thanks,

jon
