Inspired by 24966cd982 ("doc: fix repeated words", 08-09-2019),
I ran "egrep -R "\<([a-zA-Z]+)\> \<\1\>" ./Documentation/*" to
find current cases of repeated words such as "the the" that were
quite clearly typos.

There were many false positives reported, such as "really really"
or valid uses of "that that" which I left alone.

This looks like a legitimate "that that", but it also reads just as
well with your change...

The the rest rest of of the the patch patch looks looks fine fine.

Yup, that matches the result of my scanning, too.  Thanks for being
a careful reviewer.

Thank you both! Should I submit a v2 patch to undo the change to
"that that"? Or is it ok as is?

I've locally munged the patch to tweak that "that that" and
applied.  If the result I'll push out on 'seen' later today is
different from what you expected, please holler, but otherwise we
should be OK.

Thanks.
