Subject: [PATCH 0/9] Switch to single argument kvfree_rcu() API

Hi!

This is an attempt to replace places in the Linux kernel for using
single argument of kvfree_rcu() API. In short, a single argument
API allows something like below:

<snip>
    void *ptr = kvmalloc(some_bytes, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (ptr)
            kvfree_rcu(ptr);
<snip>

i.e. to free a pointer after a grace period of object that does not
have any rcu_head field inside its structure. Due to lacking of such
mechanism users just do:

<snip>
    synchronize_rcu();
    kfree(p);
<snip>

if they do not want to have an rcu_head element in their data. Thus
this series replaces mentioned places to go with the single argument API.

It is based on the 5.16.0-rc2 also it can be applied on Paul's latest RCU
"dev" branch. 

Thanks!
