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

The HugeTLB controller allows to limit the HugeTLB reservations per control
The HugeTLB controller allows limiting the HugeTLB reservations per control
group and enforces the controller limit at reservation time and at the fault of
HugeTLB memory for which no reservation exists. Since reservation limits are
enforced at reservation time (on mmap or shget), reservation limits never causes
the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved before hand. For
enforced at reservation time (on mmap or shget), reservation limits never cause
the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved beforehand. For
MAP_NORESERVE allocations, the reservation limit behaves the same as the fault
limit, enforcing memory usage at fault time and causing the application to
receive a SIGBUS if it's crossing its limit.
Reservation limits are superior to page fault limits described above, since
reservation limits are enforced at reservation time (on mmap or shget), and
never causes the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved
before hand. This allows for easier fallback to alternatives such as

hard to avoid processes getting SIGBUS since the sysadmin needs to precisely know

pages to satisfy all requests. Avoiding tasks getting SIGBUS on overcommitted
systems is practically impossible with page fault accounting.
