Documentation: filesystems: correct possessive "its"
Change occurrences of "it's" that are possessive to "its"
so that they don't read as "it is".
For f2fs.rst, reword one description for better clarity.

Similar to the AIL, tracking of committed items is done through a new list called the Committed Item List (CIL).
