SeongJae Park d436a97181 Docs/mm/index: move allocation profiling document to unsorted documents chapter
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.

Unsorted Documentation
======================
This is a collection of unsorted documents about the Linux memory management
(MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from notes and
mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data structures and
algorithms. It should all be integrated nicely into the above structured
documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
