The memory allocation profiling document was added to the bottom of the
new outline. Apparently it was not decided by well-defined guidelines
or a thorough discussions. Rather than that, it was added there just
because there was no place for such unsorted documents. Now there is
the chapter. Move the document to the new place.

The intention of 'Legacy Documentation' chapter is to keep the old
documents that not yet sorted into the new outline, and encourage new
documents to be integrated in the new outline from the beginning.
However, the new outline will take some more time to be completed. It
has started about two years ago, and still many parts are not yet
written. Also, there is no clear guidline for placing each document for
all cases, for not only the 'legacy' documents, but also for new
documents. For example, memory allocation profiling document has been
added to the bottom of the new outline. Apparently it was not following
some well-defined guideliens or a result of a discussion.
Furthermore, the title ("legacy") makes people feel the documents on the
chapter might be outdated or not actively maintained.
Rename 'Legacy Documentation' to 'Unsorted Documentation' and remove the
description saying it is for 'older' documents. After this change, new
documents that not clear enough where it should be placed on the new
outline can be added on the chapter while well-defined guidelines or
discussion for the new outline is made.

'Memory Management Guide' chapter aims to be not an additional chapter
of the document, but the ultimate single outline of the document. In
the sense, marking it as a chapter under the document makes no sense,
and the rendered document looks odd. Remove the chapter marker.

The only user of frontswap is zswap, and has been for a long time. Have
swap call into zswap directly and remove the indirection.

Some documents that listed on subsystem-apis have 'Linux' or 'The Linux'
title prefixes. It's duplicated information, and makes finding the
document of interest with human eyes not easy. Remove the prefixes from
the titles.
