docs: filesystems: vfs: Convert vfs.txt to RST

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 a number of functions defined which permit a filesystem to
 manipulate dentries:
 
-  dget: open a new handle for an existing dentry (this just increments

 	the usage count)
 
-  dput: close a handle for a dentry (decrements the usage count).  If

 	the usage count drops to 0, and the dentry is still in its
 	parent's hash, the "d_delete" method is called to check whether
 	it should be cached.  If it should not be cached, or if the dentry
 	is not hashed, it is deleted.  Otherwise cached dentries are put
 	into an LRU list to be reclaimed on memory shortage.

 	(the d_iput() method is called).  If there are other

 	updates the "d_inode" member.  The "i_count" member in the
 	inode structure should be set/incremented.  If the inode
 	pointer is NULL, the dentry is called a "negative
 	dentry".  This function is commonly called when an inode is
 	created for an existing negative dentry
