This rendered as straight text after "make htmldocs" instead of producing
a link in the HTML output.  The HTML itself is:

	<span class="xref std std-ref">up_rcu</span>

This doesn't look like something that would create a link, though I
freely admit that my HTML is rather outdated.

Same here for list_rcu.
