treewide: Convert devm_kmalloc() family to the devm_kmalloc_obj() family
Mirroring the earlier kmalloc_obj() conversion, convert the device-managed allocators over to the type-based API using the now updated scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The size is derived from the type rather than written out as a sizeof(), and the result is a pointer to that type rather than void *, so a mismatch between the size requested and the variable assigned becomes a build error instead of being silently accepted. The conversions break down as: 6713 devm_kzalloc_obj() 1749 devm_kzalloc_objs() 307 devm_kzalloc_flex() 91 devm_kmalloc_objs() 82 devm_kmalloc_obj() 2 devm_kmalloc_flex() The rules deliberately leave alone allocations sized by a string or a byte-sized type, or assigned to a pointer to a byte-sized type, since those are byte buffers rather than objects. Allocations sized by a multi-byte integer type are only converted when they are assigned to a pointer to that same type, and allocations of pointers to integers or of void pointers are left alone too. After this change, 528 files still call devm_kmalloc(), devm_kzalloc(), devm_kcalloc(), or devm_kmalloc_array(). Build tested with allmodconfig on x86_64, arm64, i386, arm, riscv, s390, m68k, mips, parisc, sparc, loongarch, arc, xtensa, and openrisc with GCC 16.2.0 with no new warnings.
