Merge tag 'docs-4.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "There's been a fair amount of work in the docs tree this time around,
  including:

   - Extensive RST conversions and organizational work in the
     memory-management docs thanks to Mike Rapoport.

   - An update of Documentation/features from Andrea Parri and a script
     to keep it updated.

   - Various LICENSES updates from Thomas, along with a script to check
     SPDX tags.

   - Work to fix dangling references to documentation files; this
     involved a fair number of one-liner comment changes outside of
     Documentation/

  ... and the usual list of documentation improvements, typo fixes, etc"
