PATCH v2 1/1 block: fix userspace documentation reference for del_gendisk()

Commit b5bd357cf8b ("block: add docs for gendisk / request_queue refcount helpers") has a typo where it references drivers for del_gendisk() when we instead meant userspace, as the reference is to the userspace experience. This fixes this.
