[PATCH v2] XArray: minor documentation improvements

From: Tamir Duberstein
Date: Wed Oct 09 2024 - 16:54:35 EST


- Replace "they" with "you" where "you" is used in the preceding
sentence fragment.
- Use "erasing" rather than "storing `NULL`" when describing multi-index
entries. Split this into a separate sentence.
- Add "call" parentheses on "xa_store" for consistency and
linkification.
