Subject: [PATCH v2] documentation: fix Generic Block Device Capability

While adding documentation for blkfilter, new lines of documentation was
added in the file include/linux/blkdev.h. Sergei Shtepa spotted that
this changed Documentation/block/capability.rst output.
Checking the documentation of previous versions, for example
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.10/block/capability.html I also saw
that the output of recent versions was already "broken" before.
This patch restore the output only relate to generic block device
capability and also added the hexadecimal values that was removed from
doc comment in commit 430cc5d (block: cleanup the GENHD_FL_*
definitions).
This will make this documentation page return to "documents the sysfs
file block/<disk>/capability" including the printed value in hexadecimal.
