MAINTAINERS: add section for locking of mm's and VMAs

We place this under memory mapping as related to memory mapping
abstractions in the form of mm_struct and vm_area_struct (VMA).  Now we
have separated out mmap/vma locking logic into the mmap_lock.c and
mmap_lock.h files, so this should encapsulate the majority of the mm
locking logic in the kernel.

Suren is best placed to maintain this logic as the core architect of VMA
locking as a whole.
