Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM) 9ee6e52616 mm: move drivers/char/mem.c to mm/char-mem.c
The memory character driver implements several mm-specific features and is
always compiled into the kernel, so move it to mm/ where it belongs.

Among other things the driver implements /dev/mem which provides raw access
to physical memory, and /dev/zero which either allows mapping of a shmem
region (if mapped with MAP_SHARED) or, uniquely, anonymous memory (if
mapped MAP_PRIVATE).

This change lays the foundations to allow MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero to be
mapped precisely the same as anonymous memory is mapped as currently it is
an edge case within mm.

Also update a couple of comments that reference 'drivers/char/mem.c' to
reference 'mm/char-mem.c'.
