Documentation/vm/: split txt and source files

Browse Source 
Documentation/vm/:
Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in
their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files.
This should help to prevent bitrot.

This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need
to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and
to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible.

Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at
all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if
they should be removed.

Also build the recently-added map_hugetlb.c.
Make several functions static to prevent linker warnings.

* address is not required, the kernel will select an address in the proper
