[PATCH] Fix a few misspellings.

[PATCH] Fix a few misspellings.

[Kevin Lyda]

Some typo fixes.  The one I'm not sure of is the fix for man2/mknodat.2.
The resulting sentence doesn't seem sensible.  If anyone has a better
suggestion I can change it, but I'm really not sure what the original
author was trying to say.

The line was modified last year in change 2cee1088.

it is supposed to be "marked".  as in the function was in the standard, but 
marked with a flag.

also, it seemed you bcc-ed the man-pages lists.  please don't do that.
