There was a typo in adding-syscalls.rst that could mislead developers
to add a C filename in a makefile instead of an object filename.
This error, while not keeping developers from contributing could slow
the development process down by introducing build errors.

Remove "manual" table of contents and leave only the ReST tag so that
Sphinx will take care of TOC generation.

When converting from text to rst, the kobjects section and its sole
subsection about device tree nodes were coalesced into a single section,
yielding an inconsistent result.
Remove all references to kobjects, as
1. Device tree object pointers are not compatible to kobject pointers
(the former may embed the latter, though), and
2. there are no printk formats defined for kobject types.
Update the vsprintf() source code comments to match the above.
Fixes: b3ed23213eab1e08 ("doc: convert printk-formats.txt to rst")

The existing wording implies that the use of spin_unlock whilst irqs are
disabled might trigger a reschedule. However the preemptible() test in
preempt_schedule will prevent a reschedule if irqs are disabled.
Lets improve the clarity of this wording to change the example from
spin_unlock to cond_resched() and cond_resched_lock() as these are
functions that will trigger a reschedule if the preempt count is 0 without
testing that irqs are disabled.
Also remove the 'Last Updated' line as this is not up to date and better
tracked via GIT.

Commit ef548c551e72 ("dm flakey: introduce "error_writes" feature")
added the ability to dm flakey to error out writes in contrast to
silently dropping it with 'drop_writes'. Unfortunately this feature
is not currently documented and one has to be either familiar with the
source code of dm flakey or check out xfstests sources to know of
this parameter. So document it.

This patch fixes a couple of punctuation nits which can make the document
more correct and readable.
Also missing "()" are added to some function references for consistency.
