fd.4: Fix floppy disk device names

The naming convention shown in the page was ancient.
Now, the page is consistent with Documentation/devices.txt
(where it is noted that "The use of the capital letters
D, H and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
the drive type is insignificant for these devices"

link.2, open.2: Update AT_EMPTY_PATH and O_PATH documentation
...
The current text reflects the general worry in the kernel about
recipients of O_PATH fds being able to hardlink the referenced
files. It turns out that it was possible to link these files
regardless of any possible security concerns.
Linux 3.11 removes the capability check in AT_EMPTY_PATH.
I expect that this functionality will be generally useful,
so let's document it better.

create_module(), delete_module(), init_module(), and
query_module() are not declared in header files, but
through an accident of history glibc provides an ABI
for them that it continues to maintain, for
compatibility reasons.
