8c748fd005 kernel: Modify the signature of k_mem_slab_free()
Modify the signature of the k_mem_slab_free() function with a new one,
replacing the old void **mem with void *mem as a parameter.

The following function:
void k_mem_slab_free(struct k_mem_slab *slab, void **mem);

has the wrong signature. mem is only used as a regular pointer, so there
is no need to use a double-pointer. The correct signature should be:
void k_mem_slab_free(struct k_mem_slab *slab, void *mem);

The issue with the current signature, although functional, is that it is
extremely confusing. I myself, a veteran Zephyr developer, was confused
by this parameter when looking at it recently.

All in-tree uses of the function have been adapted.

Fixes #61888.

5cee62acd1 doc: kernel: Re-organise memory management API pages
The kernel documentation listed the memory management API pages under
two different sections: 'Kernel/Kernel Services' and
'Kernel/Memory Management' -- this creates unnecessary confusion and
makes it hard to look up all supported kernel memory management APIs.

This commit relocates the memory management API pages under
'Kernel/Kernel Services' to 'Kernel/Memory Management' so that all
memory management APIs provided by the kernel are described in one
unified section.

The link to the 'Kernel/Memory Management' index page is still left in
the 'Kernel Services' page because it may still be helpful to look at
it as part of the services provided by the Zephyr kernel -- it is just
more substantial than the rest and deserves more visibility.
