Documentation: Fix typos and grammatical errors

Fix various typos and grammatical errors across documentation files:

- Fix missing preposition 'in' in process/changes.rst
- Correct 'result by' to 'result from' in admin-guide/README.rst
- Fix 'before hand' to 'beforehand' in cgroup-v1/hugetlb.rst
- Correct 'allows to limit' to 'allows limiting' in hugetlb.rst,
cgroup-v2.rst, and kconfig-language.rst
- Fix 'needs precisely know' to 'needs to precisely know'
- Correct 'overcommited' to 'overcommitted' in hugetlb.rst
- Fix subject-verb agreement: 'never causes' to 'never cause'
- Fix 'there is enough' to 'there are enough' in hugetlb.rst
- Fix 'metadatas' to 'metadata' in filesystems/erofs.rst
- Fix 'hardwares' to 'hardware' in scsi/ChangeLog.sym53c8xx

··· 77 77 doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies 78 78 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to fault in HugeTLB 79 79 pages beyond its limit. Therefore the application needs to know exactly how many 80 - HugeTLB pages it uses before hand, and the sysadmin needs to make sure that 80 + HugeTLB pages it uses beforehand, and the sysadmin needs to make sure that 81 81 there are enough available on the machine for all the users to avoid processes 82 82 getting SIGBUS. 83 83 ··· 91 91 hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.rsvd.usage_in_bytes 92 92 hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.rsvd.failcnt 93 93 94 - The HugeTLB controller allows to limit the HugeTLB reservations per control 94 + The HugeTLB controller allows limiting the HugeTLB reservations per control 95 95 group and enforces the controller limit at reservation time and at the fault of 96 96 HugeTLB memory for which no reservation exists. Since reservation limits are 97 - enforced at reservation time (on mmap or shget), reservation limits never causes 98 - the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved before hand. For 97 + enforced at reservation time (on mmap or shget), reservation limits never cause 98 + the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved beforehand. For 99 99 MAP_NORESERVE allocations, the reservation limit behaves the same as the fault 100 100 limit, enforcing memory usage at fault time and causing the application to 101 101 receive a SIGBUS if it's crossing its limit. 102 102 103 103 Reservation limits are superior to page fault limits described above, since 104 104 reservation limits are enforced at reservation time (on mmap or shget), and 105 - never causes the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved 106 - before hand. This allows for easier fallback to alternatives such as 105 + never cause the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved 106 + beforehand. This allows for easier fallback to alternatives such as 107 107 non-HugeTLB memory for example. In the case of page fault accounting, it's very 108 - hard to avoid processes getting SIGBUS since the sysadmin needs precisely know 109 - the HugeTLB usage of all the tasks in the system and make sure there is enough 110 - pages to satisfy all requests.
