man pages: fix table include preprocessor
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
lintian in Debian started complaining

 W: numactl: groff-message an.tmac:<standard input>:110: warning: tbl
 preprocessor failed, or it or soelim was not run; table(s) likely not
 rendered (TE macro called with TW register undefined)

for these man pages.  I would claim to barely understand the ancient
ruins that are man page header macros, but from what I can divine from
[1] what we're looking at here is an incorrect inclusion of the "tbl"
preprocessor, which should be '\" t not .\" t.

This silences the warnings, at least.
