Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!
Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:
- promote document title;
- use :Author: for authorship;
- mark literal blocks;
- add blank lines.

A strictly monotonically increasing sequence is normally used in
numbered lists as they provide an intuitive ordering of the
elements.
However, in situations where race conditions can appear, this
assumption breaks down and you can end up with unpredictable
results, leading to a rather confusing list :-)
This changes the numbered list 1,2,2,2 to the more intuitive
1,2,3,4.

Strictly speaking list_op_pending points to the 'lock entry', not the
'lock word' (which is actually at 'offset' from 'lock entry'). We can
infer this based on reading the code in kernel/futex.c:
struct robust_list __user *entry, *next_entry, *pending;
...
if (fetch_robust_entry(&pending, &head->list_op_pending, &pip))
return;
...
if (pending)
handle_futex_death((void __user *)pending + futex_offset,
curr, pip);
Which is also consistent with the rest of the docs on robust futex lists.

This patch fixes typos in various Documentation txts. The patch addresses some
+words starting with the letters 'U-Z'.
Looks like I made it through the alphabet...just in time to start over again
+too! Maybe I can fit more profound fixes into the next round...? Time will
+tell. :)
