Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

git grep -l '\<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.

Merge tag 'kmalloc_obj-treewide-v7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull kmalloc_obj conversion from Kees Cook:
"This does the tree-wide conversion to kmalloc_obj() and friends using
coccinelle, with a subsequent small manual cleanup of whitespace
alignment that coccinelle does not handle.

This uncovered a clang bug in __builtin_counted_by_ref(), so the
conversion is preceded by disabling that for current versions of
clang. The imminent clang 22.1 release has the fix.

I've done allmodconfig build tests for x86_64, arm64, i386, and arm. I
did defconfig builds for alpha, m68k, mips, parisc, powerpc, riscv,
s390, sparc, sh, arc, csky, xtensa, hexagon, and openrisc"

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

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 *".

Merge tag 'driver-core-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.

There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work
falls into two different categories:

- fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.

- driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be
moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust
has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
passing around and working with structures that really do not have
to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only
making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work
(started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct
bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release,
but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after
this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.

Other than that we have in here:

- debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems

- error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
codepaths.

- cacheinfo rework and fixes

- Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog

All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems"

[ Geert Uytterhoeven points out that that last sentence isn't true, and
that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ]

kernel/fail_function: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.
