[PATCH 5.3 051/197] lib: textsearch: fix escapes in example code

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2019-10-27 21:19:18
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: library code, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

[ Upstream commit 2105b52e30debe7f19f3218598d8ae777dcc6776 ]

This textsearch code example does not need the '\' escapes and they can
be misleading to someone reading the example. Also, gcc and sparse warn
that the "\%d" is an unknown escape sequence.

Fixes: 5968a70d7af5 ("textsearch: fix kernel-doc warnings and add kernel-api section")
