[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add core mm section

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add core mm section

[Lorenzo Stoakes]

In furtherance of ongoing efforts to ensure people are aware of who
de-facto maintains/has an interest in specific parts of mm, as well trying
to avoid get_maintainers.pl listing only Andrew and the mailing list for mm
files - establish a 'core' memory management section establishing David as
co-maintainer alongside Andrew (thanks David for volunteering!) along with
a number of relevant reviewers.

We try to keep things as fine-grained as possible, so we place only
obviously 'general' mm things here. For files which are specific to a
particular part of mm, we prefer new entries.
