doc, block, bfq: fix some typos and remove stale stuff

In addition to containing some typos and stale sentences, the file
bfq-iosched.txt still mentioned a set of sysfs parameters that have
been removed from this version of bfq. This commit fixes all these
issues.

 performing at most ~30K IOPS; at most ~50 KIOPS on faster CPUs. As a

-Factor by which the weight of a weight-raised queue is multiplied. If

-multiplied by an additional, constant factor.

-wr_max_time
-
-Maximum duration of a weight-raising period for an interactive task

-wr_max_softrt_rate

-Maximum service rate below which a queue is deemed to be associated

-wr_min_idle_time
-
-Minimum idle period after which interactive weight-raising may be
-reactivated for a queue (in ms).

-
-Maximum weight-raising duration for soft real-time queues (in ms). The
