<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

     This was added seven years ago to be used for power management

     The memory allocator is available when interrupts can be requested
     so there is not need for static irq_action. Move the remaining
     users to request_percpu_irq() and delete the historical cruft.

   - Warn when interrupt flag inconsistencies are detected in
     request*_irq().

     Inconsistent flags can lead to hard to diagnose malfunction. The
     fallout of this new warning has been addressed in next and the
     fixes are coming in via the maintainer trees and the tip
     irq/cleanup pull requests.

   - Invoke affinity notifier when CPU hotplug breaks affinity

On SP804, the delay timer shares the same clkevt instance with
sched_clock. On some platforms, when
sp804_clocksource_and_sched_clock_init is called with use_sched_clock
not set to 1, sched_clkevt is not properly initialized. However,
sp804_register_delay_timer is invoked unconditionally, and
read_current_timer() subsequently calls sp804_read on an uninitialized
sched_clkevt, leading to a kernel Oops when accessing
sched_clkevt-&gt;value.

Declare a dedicated clkevt instance exclusively for delay timer,
instead of sharing the same clkevt with sched_clock.  This ensures
that read_current_timer continues to work correctly regardless of
whether SP804 is selected as the sched_clock.
