Nothing interesting happens in _init and _exit. Just use the macro to
simplify the code slightly.

Three media drivers have unnecessary module_init and module_exit
functions that are empty or just print a message. Remove them. Note
that if a module_init function exists, a module_exit function must also
exist; otherwise, the module cannot be unloaded.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
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 *".

The second argument to the ioctl handlers is not a file handle any more.
The standard practice is to name it 'void *priv' in drivers. Many
drivers still name it 'void *fh', and a few use more exotic names.
Replace those more exotic names with 'void *priv' in all media drivers.

This sd_init() function reads the firmware.  The firmware data holds a
series of records and the function reads each record and sends the data
to the device.  The request_ihex_firmware() function
calls ihex_validate_fw() which ensures that the total length of all the
records won't read out of bounds of the fw-&gt;data[].

However, a potential issue is if there is a single very large
record (larger than PAGE_SIZE) and that would result in memory
corruption.  Generally we trust the firmware, but it's always better to
double check.
