From: Dong Aisheng <aisheng.dong@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: rename the global section array to mem_sections
In order to distinguish the struct mem_section for a better code
readability and align with kernel doc [1] name below, change the global
mem section name to 'mem_sections' from 'mem_section'.
[1] Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst
"The `mem_section` objects are arranged in a two-dimensional array
called `mem_sections`."
