Documentation: Use "while" instead of "whilst"

Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:

  | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
  | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
  | uses?

dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.

Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

 Different types of metadata have different owner identifiers. For example,
-directory, attribute and extent tree blocks are all owned by an inode, whilst
+directory, attribute and extent tree blocks are all owned by an inode, while
 freespace btree blocks are owned by an allocation group. Hence the size and
 contents of the owner field are determined by the type of metadata object we are
 looking at.  The owner information can also identify misplaced writes (e.g.
