Andrea Parri 48d44d4e8a tools/memory-model: Clarify the origin/scope of the tool name
Ingo pointed out that:

  "The "memory model" name is overly generic, ambiguous and somewhat
   misleading, as we usually mean the virtual memory layout/model
   when we say "memory model". GCC too uses it in that sense [...]"

Make it clear that tools/memory-model/ uses the term "memory model" as
shorthand for "memory consistency model" by calling out this convention
in tools/memory-model/README.

Stick to the original "memory model" term in sources' headers and for
the subsystem name.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
