Here are several updates to the mm documentation. Aside from really minor changes in the first three patches, the updates are: * move the documentation of kstrdup and friends to "String Manipulation" section * split memory management API into a separate .rst file * adjust formating of the GFP flags description and include it in the reference documentation. This patch (of 7): The description of the strndup_user function misses '*' character at the beginning of the comment to be proper kernel-doc. Add the missing character.
