Merge tag 'docs-4.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
 "This was a moderately busy cycle for docs, with the usual collection
  of small fixes and updates.

  We also have new ktime_get_*() docs from Arnd, some kernel-doc fixes,
  a new set of Italian translations (non so se vale la pena, ma non fa
  male - speriamo bene), and some extensive early memory-management
  documentation improvements from Mike Rapoport"
