[PATCH] sysfs: update Documentation

[Randy Dunlap]

Make editing corrections and updates to sysfs.rst:

- spell "sysfs" consistently (vs. "Sysfs")
- align field names in a struct
- fix some punctuation and grammar
- list more /sys top-level subdirectories
- change 'fuse.txt' to 'fuse.rst' (although I don't see where the
  example is)
