<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>

<id>urn:sha1: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>

<content type='text'>
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 *".

Commit 8fa7292fee5c ("treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()")
switched del_timer_sync to timer_delete_sync, but did not modify the
comment for bnad_dim_timeout(). Now fix it.

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

<title>net: gro: decouple GRO from the NAPI layer</title>

<content type='text'>
In fact, these two are not tied closely to each other. The only
requirements to GRO are to use it in the BH context and have some
sane limits on the packet batches, e.g. NAPI has a limit of its
budget (64/8/etc.).
Move purely GRO fields into a new structure, &amp;gro_node. Embed it
into &amp;napi_struct and adjust all the references.
gro_node::cached_napi_id is effectively the same as
napi_struct::napi_id, but to be used on GRO hotpath to mark skbs.
napi_struct::napi_id is now a fully control path field.

Three Ethernet drivers use napi_gro_flush() not really meant to be
exported, so move it to &lt;net/gro.h&gt; and add that include there.
napi_gro_receive() is used in more than 100 drivers, keep it
in &lt;linux/netdevice.h&gt;.
This does not make GRO ready to use outside of the NAPI context
yet.

Function debugfs_remove() recursively removes a directory, include all
files created by debugfs_create_file(). Therefore, there is no need to
explicitly record each file with member -&gt;bnad_dentry_files[] and
explicitly delete them at the end. Remove field bnad_dentry_files[] and
its related processing codes for simplification.

Driver bna can work fine even if any previous call to debugfs create

debugfs APIs say.
