I simply followed the commit da82af04352b ("doc: Update and wordsmith
rculist_nulls.rst") for this change, and I think I overlooked this part.  If
I'm not missing something, I think we should call rcu_read_unlock() here too,
just before 'goto begin'.

I will post another patch for rculist_null.rst later.


Thanks,
SJ
