<content type='text'>
For better maintenance and expansion move the mathematic helpers to the
separate folder.

No functional change intended.

Note, the int_sqrt() is not used as a part of lib, so, moved to regular
obj.

Neither file contains any kerneldoc comments, so including them generates
these warnings in the docs build:

  ./include/linux/rcupdate_wait.h:1: warning: no structured comments found
  ./include/linux/rcutree.h:1: warning: no structured comments found

Remove them and make life a little quieter.

<title>Docs/kernel-api.rst: Remove blk-tag.c reference</title>

<content type='text'>
After 7ca01926463a, legacy rq tagging was removed, so block/blk-tag.c
does not exists anymore. When generating pdfdocs, sphinx complains about
this missing file:

Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c
Error: Cannot open file ./block/blk-tag.c

So remove blk-tag.c traces from kernel-api.rst file to silence these
warnings.

This is basically copy-paste of the memory management section from
kernel-api.rst with some minor adjustments:

* The "User Space Memory Access" is moved to the beginning
* The get_user_pages_fast reference is now a part of "User Space Memory
  Access"
* And, of course, headings are adjusted with section being promoted to
  chapters

The string and memory duplication routines fit better to the "String

Rearrange some kernel-api chapters and sections to group them
together better.

- move Bit Operations from Basic C Library Functions to Basic
  Kernel Library Functions (now adjacent to Bitmap Operations since
  they are not typical C library functions)

- move Sorting from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library Functions
  since sort functions are more Basic than Math Functions

- move Text Searching from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library
  Functions (keep Sorting and Searching close to each other)

- combine CRC and Math functions together into the (newly named)
  CRC and Math Functions chapter
