docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc

Patch series "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and
clarify kmalloc", v2.

Update the 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 :)


This patch (of 2):

Since v7.0 the most used memory allocation function is kzalloc_obj().

Update the memory-allocation guide to describe k[mz]alloc_obj() family and
make kzalloc_obj() the first answer to "How should I allocate memory?"
question.

While on it, clarify description of kmalloc() size limitations.
