Update the docs to reflect a bit better why some folks prefer tmpfs over
ramfs and clarify a bit more about the difference between brd ramdisks.
While at it, add THP docs for tmpfs, both the mount options and the sysfs
file.

Fix a typo, punctuation, use uppercase for CPUs, and limit
tmpfs to keeping only its files in virtual memory (phrasing).

The default is still set to inode32 for backwards compatibility, but
system administrators can opt in to the new 64-bit inode numbers by
either:
1. Passing inode64 on the command line when mounting, or
2. Configuring the kernel with CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y
The inode64 and inode32 names are used based on existing precedent from
XFS.
