[PATCH] doc: cgroup: add f2fs and xfs to supported list for writeback

[Eric Sandeen]

f2fs and xfs have both added support for cgroup writeback:

578c647 f2fs: implement cgroup writeback support
adfb5fb xfs: implement cgroup aware writeback

so add them to the supported list in the docs.

I'd rather remove the list of file systems.  It has no chance of
staying uptodate.

Is there any way for a user to know whether a filesytem does or doesn't
support it, in practice?

Thanks,

Sure, but that's not quite what I meant by "a user" :)  So I'll take that
as a no.

Good question, but as long as it's there it might as well be correct;
applied, thanks.
