docs: ftrace-uses.rst fix varios code-block directives
ftrace-uses.rst is not yet included into any toctree, but since it is a .rst file, it is parsed by the Sphinx build. Thats, why we see some WARNINGS: - trace/ftrace-uses.rst:53: WARNING: Definition list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent. - trace/ftrace-uses.rst:89: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. - trace/ftrace-uses.rst:89: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-strin Fixing the code-block directives results in a less noisy build, but the 'not included' WARNING will be stay: - trace/ftrace-uses.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
