Subject: [PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: add the Memory Consistency Model subsystem

Integrate (and then remove) tools/memory-model/MAINTAINERS into the
main MAINTAINERS file. This way get_maintainer.pl can give a "right
answer" for tools/memory-model/.

Makes a lot more sense having this in the top-level MAINTAINERS file.
It might also make sense to add:

F: Documentation/memory-barriers.txt

as a separate patch now that we have a hit-list of memory model people
who can help poor old Jon (who currently gets blamed by get_maintainer.pl).

This does make sense to me: I'll prepare/send such a patch tomorrow.
