Currently vfs.rst does not render well into HTML the method descriptions
for VFS data structures. We can improve the HTML output by putting the
description string on a new line following the method name.

vfs.txt is currently stale. If we convert it to RST this is a good
first step in the process of getting the VFS documentation up to date.
This patch does the following (all as a single patch so as not to
introduce any new SPHINX build warnings)
- Use '.. code-block:: c' for C code blocks and indent the code blocks.
- Use double backticks for struct member descriptions.
- Fix a couple of build warnings by guarding pointers (*) with double
backticks .e.g ``*ptr``.
- Add vfs to Documentation/filesystems/index.rst
The member descriptions paragraph indentation was not touched. It is
not pretty but these do not cause build warnings. These descriptions
all need updating anyways so leave it as it is for now.

There are bunch of places with 8 spaces, in preparation for correctly
indenting all code snippets (during conversion to RST) change these to
use tabspaces.
This patch is whitespace only.

In preparation for conversion to RST format use the kernels favoured
documentation column width. If we are going to do this we might as well
do it thoroughly. Just do the paragraphs (not the indented stuff), the
rest will be done during indentation fix up patch.
This patch is whitespace only, no textual changes.
Use 72 character column width for all paragraph sections.

Currently the file has a bunch of spaces before tabspaces. This is a
nuisance when patching the file because they show up whenever we touch

The "no structured comments found" warning is not particularly useful if

With Sphinx 2.0 (or prior versions with the deprecation warnings fixed) the
docs build fails with:
Documentation/gpu/i915.rst:403: WARNING: Title level inconsistent:
Global GTT Fence Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
reST markup error:
Documentation/gpu/i915.rst:403: (SEVERE/4) Title level inconsistent:
I "fixed" it by changing the subsections in i915.rst, but that didn't seem
like the correct change. It turns out that a couple of i915 files create
their own subsections in kerneldoc comments using apostrophes as the
heading marker:
Layout
''''''
That breaks the normal subsection marker ordering, and newer Sphinx is
rather more strict about enforcing that ordering. So fix the offending
comments to make Sphinx happy.
(This is unfortunate, in that kerneldoc comments shouldn't need to be aware
of where they might be included in the heading hierarchy, but I don't see
a better way around it).
