Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Documentation: livepatch: Correct "step on each other's toes" idiom

The idiom is written as "step over" instead, which means walking over

I choose to keep the singular version of 'each other' since it refers to
individual redirection method (see [3] for grammatical explanation of why
it is the case ).

 Most of these problems are solved by using the dynamic ftrace framework as
 a base. A Kprobe is registered as a ftrace handler when the function entry
 is probed, see CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE. Also an alternative function from
