[PATCH] Documentation : Update relay function types

[PATCH] Documentation : Update relay function types

[Yohan Pipereau]

This patch updates two callback functions provided as an example in
relay API documentation : subbuf_start and create_buf_file_handler.

These functions were using older and incorrect types causing an
"initialization from incompatible pointer type".

Please include information like this after the "---" line so I don't have
to edit it out of the changelog manually.  

Thanks,
