Documentation/admin-guide: blockdev/ramdisk: remove use of "rdev"
Remove use of "rdev" from blockdev/ramdisk.rst and update admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt. "rdev" is considered antiquated, ancient, archaic, obsolete, deprecated {choose any or all}. "rdev" was removed from util-linux in 2010: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/?id=a3e40c14651fccf18e7954f081e601389baefe3f Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Cc: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz> Cc: linux-video@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz Cc: "H.
