[PATCH 2/2] doc/filesystems: more mount cleanups

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Peng Tao <bergwolf@gmail.com>

Documentation/filesystems/sharedsubtree.txt needs updating because the mount
command in util-linux package is well aware of shared subtree features now.
The patch also fixes two typos in sharedsubtree.txt.
