<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.

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

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 *".

<content type='text'>
of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented,
which must be released with of_node_put() when done. However, in
parse_fixed_partitions(), when dedicated is true (i.e., a "partitions"
subnode was found), the ofpart_node obtained from of_get_child_by_name()
is never released on any code path.

Add of_node_put(ofpart_node) calls on all exit paths when dedicated is
true to fix the reference count leak.

This bug was detected by our static analysis tool.

<content type='text'>
The function mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_parse() allocates buf via
mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_read_table(). If the allocation for
parts[idx].name fails inside the loop, the code jumps to the err_free
label without freeing buf, leading to a memory leak.

Fix this by freeing the temporary buffer buf in the err_free label.

Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.

Currently even if none of the custom parsers are selected a struct
of_device_id and a dummy function that just returns -EOPNOTSUPP is
compiled in for each of them.

Its not obvious from the code but struct of_device_id is massive,
196 or 200 bytes (see link), so this is a lot more wasteful than you'd
think just skimming the code and assuming the wasted size is just the
length of the string with some small overhead.

If they aren't enabled use ifdef's to avoid anything being compiled
in and remove the dummy functions.

of_get_property(). This is part of a larger effort to remove callers
of of_get_property() and similar functions. of_get_property() leaks
the DT property data pointer which is a problem for dynamically
