mm: Kconfig: reorganize misplaced mm options
After commits 7b42f1041c98 ("mm: Kconfig: move swap and slab config
options to the MM section") and 519bcb797907 ("mm: Kconfig: group swap,
slab, hotplug and thp options into submenus") we now have nicely organized
mm related config options. I have noticed some that were still misplaced,
so this moves them from various places into the new structure:
VM_EVENT_COUNTERS, COMPAT_BRK, MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED to mm/Kconfig and
general MM section.
SLUB_STATS to mm/Kconfig and the slab submenu.
DEBUG_SLAB, SLUB_DEBUG, SLUB_DEBUG_ON to mm/Kconfig.debug and the Kernel
hacking / Memory Debugging submenu.
