Documentation: sysrq: convert to third person


Two parts of the sysrq documentation have sentences written from a first
person's point of view.

Documentation is generally written from a third person's view in a
formal way.

Convert those senteces to be less personal and generic.

Sometimes SysRq seems to get 'stuck' after using it, what can I do?

That happens to me, also. I've found that tapping shift, alt, and control
on both sides of the keyboard, and hitting an invalid sysrq sequence again
will fix the problem. (i.e., something like :kbd:`alt-sysrq-z`). Switching to
another virtual console (:kbd:`ALT+Fn`) and then back again should also help.

I hit SysRq, but nothing seems to happen, what's wrong?
