[PATCH] docs: infiniband: correct name of option to enable the ib_uverbs module

[Ethan Nelson-Moore]

The Infiniband documentation states that CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_VERBS
should be used to enable the ib_uverbs module. However, this option was
renamed to CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS in commit 17781cd6186c
("[PATCH] IB: clean up user access config options"). Update the
documentation to reflect this.

For patch that mixes English and translation update, should it directly 
be merged into Jon's kernel tree?
