[PATCH] Documentation: admin-guide: Correct spelling of "userspace"

[Akiyoshi Kurita]

The term "userspace" should be a single word. Fix the typo
"userpace" accordingly.

Comparing to the "MSDOS" spelling patch:

did you check/count "userspace" vs. "user space" vs. "user-space"
in the kernel source tree?

No, but this patch was fixing "userpace", which is overtly wrong.  It
turns out that there's a surprising number of those, too, but still far
fewer.

Thanks. This patch was only to fix the overt typo "userpace"; no 
treewide wording change intended.
If there is a preferred style for future docs ("userspace" vs "user 
space" vs "user-space"), I'm happy to follow it.

No, we have plenty of each of these. No need to fix anything here.
Thanks.
