[PATCH] spu_create.2: Clarify that one of the prototypes is the current one

[Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com>]

The current Linux kernel only provides a definition of 'spu_create()'.
It has 4 parameters, the last being 'int neighbor_fd'.

Before Linux 2.6.23, there was an older prototype,
which didn't have this last parameter.

Move that old prototype to VERSIONS,
and keep the current one in SYNOPSIS.

			fdput(neighbor);

	} else
		ret = calls->create_thread(name, flags, mode, NULL);

	spufs_calls_put(calls);
	return ret;
