bc67f1c454 docs: futex: Fix kernel-doc references
Since the futex code was restructured, there's no futex.c file anymore
and the implementation is split in various files. Point kernel-doc
references to the new files.

abf36fe0be docs: kernel-hacking: Remove inappropriate text
Remove inappropriate sexual (and ableist) text from the locking
documentation, aligning it with the kernel code-of-conduct. As the text
was unrelated to locking, this change streamlines the document and
improves readability.

3c2e0a489d docs: kernel-hacking: be more civil
Remove the f-bomb from locking.rst.  Let's have a moment of silence,
though, as we mark the passing of the last of Rusty's once plentiful
profanities in this venerable document.

4f8af077a0 docs: Fix reST markup when linking to sections
During the process of converting the documentation to reST, some links
were converted using the following wrong syntax (and sometimes using %20
instead of spaces):

   `Display text <#section-name-in-html>`__

This syntax isn't valid according to the docutils' spec [1], but more
importantly, it is specific to HTML, since it uses '#' to link to an
HTML anchor.

The right syntax would instead use a docutils hyperlink reference as the
embedded URI to point to the section [2], that is:

   `Display text <Section Name_>`__

This syntax works in both HTML and PDF.

The LaTeX toolchain doesn't mind the HTML anchor syntax when generating
the pdf documentation (make pdfdocs), that is, the build succeeds but
the links don't work, but that syntax causes errors when trying to build
using the not-yet-merged rst2pdf:

   ValueError: format not resolved, probably missing URL scheme or undefined destination target for 'Forcing%20Quiescent%20States'

So, use the correct syntax in order to have it work in all different
output formats.

387b14684f docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the
kernel development book where it belongs.

Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly
parse the text file, as they're already in good shape,
not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

220ee02a0b docs: stop suggesting strlcpy
Since strlcpy is deprecated, the documentation shouldn't suggest using
it. This patch fixes the examples to use strscpy instead. It also uses
sizeof instead of underlying constants as far as possible, to simplify
future changes to the corresponding data structures.
