[PATCH] minor typo fixes in several pages

[Akihiro MOTOKI]

I found typos in several pages from LDP man-pages 3.52.

_syscall.2
popen.3
tempnam.3
bootparam.7
socket.7

Is it better to split a patch per page?

Seen on https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/patches.html :
* Send logically separate patches (e.g., for unrelated pages, or for logically
  separate issues in the same page) as separate mails. 

But you should work against the git tree, that already contains some of the
fixes you submitted.
