In order to distinguish the struct mem_section for a better code
readability and align with kernel doc [1] name below, change the
global mem section name to 'mem_sections' from 'mem_section'.

[1] Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst
"The `mem_section` objects are arranged in a two-dimensional array
called `mem_sections`."

Smells like unnecessary code churn. I'd rather just fix the doc because 
it doesn't really improve readability IMHO.

Anyhow, just my 2 cents.

In  practice I feel it does affect readability that the global
mem_section pointer is mixed
with struct mem_section names which results in:
1. hard to quickly jump between global mem_section operation in a
single source file.
    e.g. by VIM hotkey of search
2. hard to quickly identify all global mem_section operations in
global source files
    by tools, e.g. cscope, grep

This does cause troubles if users want to quickly go through and
understand the code.
