manual: cuserid is mtasurace if not passed a string


During the MTASC-Safety code review, in my analysis of cuserid, I failed
to notice the use of the static buffer in case a buffer is not passed as
an argument.  Oops.  This patch fixes the error.  Ok to install?


From: Alexandre Oliva <aoliva@redhat.com>

for  ChangeLog

	* manual/users.texi (cuserid): Fix MT-Safety note for the case
	of not passing it a buffer.
	Reported by Peng Haitao.
