Documentation: Use "while" instead of "whilst"
Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:

Different types of metadata have different owner identifiers. For example, -directory, attribute and extent tree blocks are all owned by an inode, whilst +directory, attribute and extent tree blocks are all owned by an inode, while freespace btree blocks are owned by an allocation group. Hence the size and contents of the owner field are determined by the type of metadata object we are looking at. The owner information can also identify misplaced writes (e.g. |
