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 *".

Add performance testing for common context synchronizations
(Preemption, IRQ, Softirq) and per-cpu increments. Those are
relevant comparisons against SRCU-fast read side APIs, especially
as they are planned to synchronize further tracing fast-path code.

This commit adds refscale readers based on srcu_read_lock_fast_updown()
and srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown()
("refscale.scale_type=srcu-fast-updown"). On my x86 laptop, these are
about 2.2ns per pair.

This commit updates the initialization for the "srcu-fast" scale
type to use DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() when reader_flavor is equal to
SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST.

Some kernel configurations prohibit invoking local_bh_enable() while
interrupts are disabled.  However, refscale disables interrupts to reduce
OS noise during the tests, which results in splats.  This commit therefore
adds an ->enable_irqs flag to the ref_scale_ops structure, and refrains
from disabling interrupts when that flag is set.  This flag is set for
the "bh" and "incpercpubh" scale_type module-parameter values.

This commit adds refscale readers based on READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
that are unprotected (can lose counts, "refscale.scale_type=incpercpu"),
preempt-disabled ("refscale.scale_type=incpercpupreempt"),
bh-disabled ("refscale.scale_type=incpercpubh"), and irq-disabled
("refscale.scale_type=incpercpuirqsave").  On my x86 laptop, these are
about 4.3ns, 3.8ns, and 7.3ns per pair, respectively.
