[PATCH] Documentation: block: cmdline-partition.txt fixes and additions

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

Make the description of the kernel command line option "blkdevparts"
a bit more flowing and readable.

Fix a few typos.
Add the optional <size> and <offset> suffixes.
Note that size can be "-" to indicate all of the remaining space.

Should the "ro" and "lk" flags options be described?

thank you for fix typos.
The "ro" and "lk" feature are not implemented in block devices. could you implement them?
