docs: improve pathname-lookup document structure (2018-12-20 08:47:18 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
A fairly normal cycle for documentation stuff. We have a new
document on perf security, more Italian translations, more
improvements to the memory-management docs, improvements to the
pathname lookup documentation, and the usual array of smaller
fixes.

As is often the case, there are a few reaches outside of
Documentation/ to adjust kerneldoc comments.

Expect a trivial merge conflict with the fscrypt tree; the resolution
is to just take both sides.
