When :doc: is used, the .rst should be removed. Also, the patches
are relative to the current directory.

So, the right reference should be:

	:doc:`/accounting/delay-accounting`

Fixes: fcb501704554 ("delayacct: Document task_delayacct sysctl")

This is a feature of your favorite text editor. Not all have it.
Can we please not do crap like this.

That's said, automarkup.py has a rule to convert Documentation/<foo>.rst
into :doc:`<foo>`. So, an alternative approach would be to convert
treewide all :doc:`<foo>` into Documentation/<foo>.rst and add something 
at checkpatch.pl to recommend to avoid :doc: notation.

Tests are needed, though, to be sure that automarkup.py won't miss
something, as the regex there might require tweaks to cover some
border cases.

Thanks,
Mauro
