[PATCH] docs/vfs: Fix the struct file_system_type copy

[Karl Mehltretter]

Commit dc651e25a6d2 ("fs: RCU-ify filesystems list") replaced the next
pointer of struct file_system_type with an hlist_node, but the copy of
the structure in vfs.rst still shows "struct file_system_type * next".
Show the hlist_node.
