Documentation: update stale definition of file-nr in fs.txt

In "documentation: update Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt and
Documentation/sysctls" (commit 760df93ec) we merged /proc/sys/fs
documentation in Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt and
Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt, but stale file-nr definition
remained.

This patch adds back the right fs-nr definition for 2.6 kernel.

+Historically, the three values in file-nr denoted the number of

+handles, and the maximum number of file handles. Linux 2.6 always
+reports 0 as the number of free file handles -- this is not an

+exactly matches the number of used file handles.
