Two choices:

1) Don't install the user documentation in %install.  Then have this
files entry:

%files doc
%doc userdocs/*

2) Use %exclude:

%files doc
%{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version}/
%exclude %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version}/devel/

%exclude throws off rpm's size calculation so it's not the preferred
method, but it can be easier to implement.
