Looking at linux-next, we now have duplicate documentation:

$ git grep mem_hotplug_lock
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst: mem_hotplug_lock
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst:- add_memory_resource()
will first take the mem_hotplug_lock, followed by
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst:heterogeneous/device
memory, we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock in
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst:In addition,
mem_hotplug_lock (in contrast to device_hotplug_lock) in read

Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst: mem_hotplug_lock
Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst:- add_memory_resource() will
first take the mem_hotplug_lock, followed by
Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst:heterogeneous/device memory,
we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock in
Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst:In addition, mem_hotplug_lock
(in contrast to device_hotplug_lock) in read

It really only should go to Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst

Should I send a patch or who can fix that up?
