"dementia.org" became "dementix.org" a few years ago.

This happens to be a co-worker, who suggests replacing the entry as
per this commit:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d878bcc8695c5d8bd3ca8b8defa4d50ec2424859

Although that might be a bit beyond the scope of this particular patch
series; it should maybe be sent separately.
