Cover letter [PATCH v2 0/2] docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc

Update hte memory-allocation guide to describe k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify description of kmalloc() size limitations.

And when I realized that get_maintainers.pl does not list any of mm people for that patch I added the MAINTAINERS update as well :)
