When vc4_save_hang_state() encounters an early return condition, it
returns without freeing the previously allocated `kernel_state`,
leaking memory.

Add the missing kfree() calls by consolidating the early return paths
into a single place.

The hang state's BO array is allocated separately with kzalloc() in
vc4_save_hang_state() but never freed in vc4_free_hang_state(). Add the
missing kfree() for the BO array before freeing the hang state struct.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>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>

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 *".

`bo-&gt;seqno`, `bo-&gt;write_seqno`, and `exec-&gt;bin_dep_seqno` are leftovers
from a time when VC4 didn't support DMA Reservation Objects. Before DMA
Resv was introduced, tracking the correspondence between BOs and jobs
through the job's seqno made sense.

However, this is no longer needed, as VC4 now supports DMA Reservation
Objects and attaches the "job done" fence to the BOs. Therefore, remove
the BOs seqnos in favor of using DMA Resv Objects.

Since the BOs used by VC4 have DMA Reservation Objects attached to
them, waiting for seqnos to check BO availability is unnecessary.
Instead, `drm_gem_dma_resv_wait()` can be used.

VC4 has internal copies of `drm_gem_lock_reservations()` and
`drm_gem_unlock_reservations()` within the driver. Ideally, these
hard-coded functions should be replaced with the generic functions
provided by DRM common code. However, instead of using the DRM GEM
functions to (un)lock reservations, transition to the new DRM Execution
Contexts API.
