Commit:
d92a8cfcb3 ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation")
removed the 'reclaim_fs' lockdep STATE.
Reflect the change in the documentation.
While we are at it, also clarify the formula to calculate the number of state bits.

lockdep code has been moved from kernel/ to kernel/locking/ by commit
8eddac3f10 ("locking: Move the lockdep
code to kernel/locking/"). But, path to lockdep code in document was not
updated.
This commit updates the path.
