The reference to `explicit_in_reply_to` is pointless as when the
reference was added in the form of "#15" [1], Section 15) was "The
canonical patch format".
The reference of "#15" had not been properly updated in a couple of
reorganizations during the plain-text SubmittingPatches era.
Fix it by using `the_canonical_patch_format`.

The file 'Documentation/process/changes.rst' states the listed
requirements are for the 4.x kernel version. However, there are
requirements updated for the 5.x version, as there might be in other
future versions. This patch updates it to 'latest' so the document won't
be outdated in the future.

The install target requires cpio to run the `kernel/gen_kheaders.sh`
script, but it's missing in the requirements list at
'Documentation/process/changes.rst'. This patch adds it to the list.

The unit mentioned in the documentation of scheduler statistics is
outdated which may mislead the readers.
The unit of statistics that is reported by /proc/schedstat is modified
to nanosecond, and the unit of statistics that is reported by
/proc/PID/schedstat is provided as well to make the context consistent.
The rq_cpu_time and the rq_sched_info.run_delay of a run queue, and the
sched_info.run_delay of a task are all updated based on the clock of the
run queue, while the se.sum_exec_runtime of a task is updated based on
the clock_task of the run queue of the task. Both the clock and
clock_task are relied on the return value of the function sched_clock()
which is in the unit of nanosecond.

HIBERNATION HYPER_V
and drop some obsolete/removed keyword legends:
EIDE IOSCHED OSS TS XT

ignore-gfp-wait and ignore-gfp-highmem defaults are actually true (Y) in
both failslab and fail_page_alloc, not false as the docs suggest. See
page_alloc.c:3762 and failslab.c:13
At the same time use 'Y' instead of '1' in the example scripts just for
consistency. (though 1 would work)

Since commit 91eeafea1e ("x86/entry: Switch page fault exception to
IDTENTRY_RAW"), the function name of the page fault handler is out of date.
And because of commit aa37c51b94 ("x86/mm: Break out user address space
handling"), the description of search_exception_table is not correct
anymore. It may mislead the user who wants to use the documentation to
figure out the page fault handler.
Also, fix typo and add the parentheses after function and macro name.
