9992d6428f ``NULL is a specific instance of a null pointer constant; the generic is
a "null pointer".''

Making good use of the excellent explanations sent to me by Ruslan
Ermilov, Garrett Wollman and Bruce Evans, correct the descriptions of
null pointers.  They are just "null pointers", not nil, not NULL or
".Dv NULL".

4bc282eb72 Clarify getfsstat(2) usage.
The getfsstat(2) function expects a buffer and a count, and returns a count.

The confusing part is that the count it takes is a byte count, while the
return value is a count of the number of structures it has filled out.

Spell this out.
