The config RANDOMIZE_SLAB does not exist, the authors probably intended to
refer to the config RANDOMIZE_BASE, which provides kernel address-space
randomization. They probably just confused SLAB with BASE (these two
four-letter words coincidentally share three common letters), as they also
point out the config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM as further randomization within
the same sentence.
Fix the reference of the config for kernel address-space randomization to
the config that provides that.

Most readers are probably going to figure out that the config is actually
all upper-case letters, as all Kconfig symbols are this way.
Properly capitalizing makes the script ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py
happy, which otherwise would report this as a reference to a non-existing
Kconfig symbol.
So, use the right capitalization for the MAGIC_SYSRQ config in the kgdb
documentation.

Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting.rst says that the overcommit
amount can be set via vm.overcommit_ratio and vm.overcommit_kbytes.
Add a clarification that those only take effect in overcommit handling
mode 2 ("Don't overcommit"), i.e. they do not act as an "additional"
limit that is always enforced.

There were some things which made rendered document
look not very elegant. That was because:
1. Numbered lists were formatted in more of Markdown way
rather than true reStructuredText and so were displayed
as a plain text with leading numbers.
Well, moreover numbered lists were not needed as in all cases
we were just listing a couple of options w/o any intention to
follow any particular order, so a simpler unordered list fits
better and looks cleaner.
2. URL's of external resources were added as they are
(which is OK in a plain text, but make not much sense in
a HTML where we may use more human-friendly link names
with URL's hidden.
3. Some URL's had trailing slashes which were not really needed
Fix all items from above!

This is actually an overlay on the top of the RTD theme, which
requires to include first the RTD theme.
It should be noticed that, when the dark theme is used, the
DOCS_CSS files won't be the last CSS themes. So, it won't
override the dark.css style by default. So, it is needed
to force the them override with "!important".
This small script, for instance, produces a nice output with
the RTD dark theme:
DOCS_THEME=sphinx_rtd_dark_mode
cat << EOF > dark_override.css
html body {
font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
