In this case, before this patch, generated table of contents for
vm/ contains:

- Active MM
- Architecture Page Table Helpers
- PTE Page Table Helpers
- PMD Page Table Helpers
- PUD Page Table Helpers
- HugeTLB Page Table Helpers
- SWAP Page Table Helpers
- Memory Balancing
...

The headings for PTE, PMD, PUD, HugeTLB, and SWAP Page Table Helpers
should be subheading of Architecture Page Table Helpers, but these
were marked up with page title heading instead of chapter heading.
