Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 767e5ee54e mm: add pagemap.h to the fine documentation
The documentation currently does not include the deathless prose written
to describe functions in pagemap.h because it's not included in any rst
file.  Fix up the mismatches between parameter names and the documentation
and add the file to mm-api.

Memory Allocation Controls
==========================
Functions which need to allocate memory often use GFP flags to express
how that memory should be allocated. The GFP acronym stands for "get
free pages", the underlying memory allocation function. Not every GFP
flag is allowed to every function which may allocate memory. Most
users will want to use a plain ``GFP_KERNEL``.
