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'.
