treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversionsgrafted
This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc() family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's "--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control flow indicator I could find. Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc, riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

+Acorn Disc Filing System - ADFS
+===============================
+
+Filesystems supported by ADFS
+-----------------------------
+
+The ADFS module supports the following Filecore formats which have:
+
+- new maps
+- new directories or big directories
+
+In terms of the named formats, this means we support:
+
+- E and E+, with or without boot block
+- F and F+
+
+We fully support reading files from these filesystems, and writing to
+existing files within their existing allocation. Essentially, we do
+not support changing any of the filesystem metadata.
+
+This is intended to support loopback mounted Linux native filesystems
+on a RISC OS Filecore filesystem, but will allow the data within files
+to be changed.
+
+If write support (ADFS_FS_RW) is configured, we allow rudimentary
+directory updates, specifically updating the access mode and timestamp.
+
+Mount options for ADFS
+----------------------
+
+ ============ ======================================================
+ uid=nnn All files in the partition will be owned by
+ user id nnn. Default 0 (root).
+ gid=nnn All files in the partition will be in group
+ nnn. Default 0 (root).
+ ownmask=nnn The permission mask for ADFS 'owner' permissions
+ will be nnn. Default 0700.
+ othmask=nnn The permission mask for ADFS 'other' permissions
+ will be nnn. Default 0077.
+ ftsuffix=n When ftsuffix=0, no file type suffix will be applied.
+ When ftsuffix=1, a hexadecimal suffix corresponding to
+ the RISC OS file type will be added. Default 0.
+ ============ ======================================================
+
+Mapping of ADFS permissions to Linux permissions
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ ADFS permissions consist of the following:
+
+ - Owner read
+ - Owner write
+ - Other read
+ - Other write
+
+ (In older versions, an 'execute' permission did exist, but this
+ does not hold the same meaning as the Linux 'execute' permission
+ and is now obsolete).
+
+ The mapping is performed as follows::
+
+ Owner read -> -r--r--r--
+ Owner write -> --w--w---w
+ Owner read and filetype UnixExec -> ---x--x--x
+ These are then masked by ownmask, eg 700 -> -rwx------
+ Possible owner mode permissions -> -rwx------
+
+ Other read -> -r--r--r--
+ Other write -> --w--w--w-
+ Other read and filetype UnixExec -> ---x--x--x
+ These are then masked by othmask, eg 077 -> ----rwxrwx
+ Possible other mode permissions -> ----rwxrwx
+
+ Hence, with the default masks, if a file is owner read/write, and
+ not a UnixExec filetype, then the permissions will be::
+
+ -rw-------
+
+ However, if the masks were ownmask=0770,othmask=0007, then this would
+ be modified to::
+
+ -rw-rw----
+
+ There is no restriction on what you can do with these masks. You may
+ wish that either read bits give read access to the file for all, but
+ keep the default write protection (ownmask=0755,othmask=0577)::
+
+ -rw-r--r--
+
+ You can therefore tailor the permission translation to whatever you
+ desire the permissions should be under Linux.
+
+RISC OS file type suffix
+------------------------
+
+ RISC OS file types are stored in bits 19..8 of the file load address.
+
+ To enable non-RISC OS systems to be used to store files without losing
+ file type information, a file naming convention was devised (initially
+ for use with NFS) such that a hexadecimal suffix of the form ,xyz
+ denoted the file type: e.g. BasicFile,ffb is a BASIC (0xffb) file. This
+ naming convention is now also used by RISC OS emulators such as RPCEmu.
+
+ Mounting an ADFS disc with option ftsuffix=1 will cause appropriate file
+ type suffixes to be appended to file names read from a directory. If the
+ ftsuffix option is zero or omitted, no file type suffixes will be added.
