The layout header list was moved from struct nfs_client (cl_layouts) to
struct nfs_server (layouts) in commit 6382a44138e7 ("NFS: move pnfs
layouts to nfs_server structure"), but the documentation was not updated.

Also update the layout driver description to reflect that the objects
layout driver was removed in commit 6d22323b2e9f ("nfs: remove the
objlayout driver"), leaving 3 layout types implemented in the kernel
client: files, blocks, and flexfiles.
