docs: sysctl/fs: merge the aio sections

There are two sections documenting aio-nr and aio-max-nr, merge them.
I kept the second explanation of aio-nr, which seems clearer to me,
along with the effects of the values from the first section.

aio-nr & aio-max-nr
-------------------
aio-nr is the running total of the number of events specified on the
io_setup system call for all currently active aio contexts. If aio-nr
reaches aio-max-nr then io_setup will fail with EAGAIN. Note that
raising aio-max-nr does not result in the pre-allocation or re-sizing
of any kernel data structures.
aio-nr shows the current system-wide number of asynchronous io
requests. aio-max-nr allows you to change the maximum value
aio-nr can grow to. If aio-nr reaches aio-nr-max then io_setup will
fail with EAGAIN. Note that raising aio-max-nr does not result in the
pre-allocation or re-sizing of any kernel data structures.
