Subject: MAINTAINERS: use a common prefix for MM components
Date: Sun, 01 Nov 2026 12:13:07 -0800

Several MM component entries still use standalone headings, so searching
for headings beginning with "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" misses them.

Give these 18 entries the common "MEMORY MANAGEMENT - " prefix.  Leave
them in place for now so that the renames can be reviewed separately
from the subsequent alphabetical sorting.
