Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] mm: Kconfig: group swap, slab, hotplug and thp options into submenus
There are several clusters of related config options spread throughout
the mostly flat MM submenu. Group them together and put specialization
options into further subdirectories to make the MM submenu a bit more
organized and easier to navigate.
