doc: blk-ioprio: Bring the doc in line with the implementation
Our system administrator have noted that the names 'rt-to-be' and 'all-to-idle' in the I/O priority policies table appeared without explanations, leading to confusion. Let's bring these names in line with the naming in the 'attribute' section. Additionally, 1. Correct the interface name to 'io.prio.class'. 2. Add a table entry of 'promote-to-rt' for consistency. 3. Fix a typo of 'priority'.
