Subject: 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 a520110e4a15 ("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.
