mlock.2
mtk
Reworded text around PAGESIZE, noting also that
sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) can be used.
path_resolution.2
mtk / aeb
Removed words "as well" (added in 2.11) from the phrase

the effective UID is not.

it into capabilities.7

Add text to note that setresuid() always modifies the file
system UID, and setresgid() likewise always modifies the file
system GID.
