locking/Documentation: Fix missed s/lock/acquire renames

The terms 'lock'/'unlock' were changed to 'acquire'/'release' by the
following commit:

  2e4f5382d12a4 ("locking/doc: Rename LOCK/UNLOCK to ACQUIRE/RELEASE")

However, the commit missed to change the table of contents - fix that.

Also, the dumb rename changed the section name 'Locking functions' to an
actively misleading 'Acquiring functions' section name.

Rename it to 'Lock acquisition functions' instead.
