Subject: [PATCH v2] docs: filesystems: ensure proc pid substitutable is
 complete

The entry in proc.rst for 3.14 is missing the closing ">" of the "pid"
field for the ksm_stat file. Add this for both the table of contents and
the actual header for the "ksm_stat" file.

- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260130-ksm_stat-v1-1-a6aa0da78de6@wiredspace.de
