MAINTAINERS: assign pagewalk.h to MEMORY MANAGEMENT
Patch series "kernel-doc and MAINTAINERS clean-up". Roughly 900 warnings of about 21.000 kernel-doc warnings in the kernel tree warn with 'cannot understand function prototype:', i.e., the kernel-doc parser cannot parse the function's signature. The majority, about 600 cases of those, are just struct definitions following the kernel-doc description. Further, spot-check investigations suggest that the authors of the specific kernel-doc descriptions simply were not aware that the general format for a kernel-doc description for a structure requires to prefix the struct name with the keyword 'struct', as in 'struct struct_name - Brief description.'. Details on kernel-doc are at the Link below. Without the struct keyword, kernel-doc does not check if the kernel-doc description fits to the actual struct definition in the source code. Fortunately, in roughly a quarter of these cases, the kernel-doc description is actually complete wrt. its corresponding struct definition. So, the trivial change adding the struct keyword will allow us to keep the kernel-doc descriptions more consistent for future changes, by checking for new kernel-doc warnings. Also, some of the files in ./include/ are not assigned to a specific MAINTAINERS section and hence have no dedicated maintainer. So, if needed, the files in ./include/ are also assigned to the fitting MAINTAINERS section, as I need to identify whom to send the clean-up patch anyway. Here is the change from this kernel-doc janitorial work in the ./include/ directory for MEMORY MANAGEMENT. This patch (of 2): Commit a520110e ("mm: split out a new pagewalk.h header from mm.h") adds a new file in ./include/linux, but misses to update MAINTAINERS accordingly. Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl include/linux/pagewalk.h points only to lkml as general fallback for all files, whereas the original include/linux/mm.h clearly marks this file part of MEMORY MANAGEMENT. Assign include/linux/pagewalk.h to MEMORY MANAGEMENT.
