I encountered a warning during kernel documentation compilation

Usually we write the commit message in imperative mood, please check: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes

due to a missing colon in the documentation for the
'num_fences' variable in the sync_file.h header file.
This change adds the missing colon to align with the documentation format.

Since you are modifying this file, if you run:
git log --oneline include/uapi/linux/sync_file.h
you will notice that almost all changes start with "dma-buf/sync_file:" prefix, it would be nice to maintain the style pattern for the commit title.

Helen
