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.

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 *".

The current attempted split between xe/i915 vs. display
for intel_frontbuffer is a mess:
- the i915 rcu leaks through the interface to the display side
- the obj->frontbuffer write-side is now protected by a display
specific spinlock even though the actual obj->framebuffer
pointer lives in a i915 specific structure
- the kref is getting poked directly from both sides
- i915_active is still on the display side
Clean up the mess by moving everything about the frontbuffer
lifetime management to the i915/xe side:
- the rcu usage is now completely contained in i915
- frontbuffer_lock is moved into i915
- kref is on the i915/xe side (xe needs the refcount as well
due to intel_frontbuffer_queue_flush()->intel_frontbuffer_ref())
- the bo (and its refcounting) is no longer on the display side
- i915_active is contained in i915
I was pondering whether we could do this in some kind of smaller
steps, and perhaps we could, but it would probably have to start
with a bunch of reverts (which for sure won't go cleanly anymore).
So not convinced it's worth the hassle.
