[LTP] [PATCH 2/2] doc/c-test-api.txt: Improve tst_find_backing_dev() doc

Doc added in 606903cf8 was too complicated. Also there was repeating
sentence, typo 'unevent'.

While at it, fix also 'voud' typo from 9343d0486.

Fixes: 606903cf8 ("c-test-api: Documentation updated")
Fixes: 9343d0486 ("tst_device: Add new api tst_find_backing_dev(path, dev)")
