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.

+UDF file system
+===============
+
+If you encounter problems with reading UDF discs using this driver,
+please report them according to MAINTAINERS file.
+
+Write support requires a block driver which supports writing. Currently
+dvd+rw drives and media support true random sector writes, and so a udf
+filesystem on such devices can be directly mounted read/write. CD-RW
+media however, does not support this. Instead the media can be formatted
+for packet mode using the utility cdrwtool, then the pktcdvd driver can
+be bound to the underlying cd device to provide the required buffering
+and read-modify-write cycles to allow the filesystem random sector writes
+while providing the hardware with only full packet writes. While not
+required for dvd+rw media, use of the pktcdvd driver often enhances
+performance due to very poor read-modify-write support supplied internally
+by drive firmware.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The following mount options are supported:
+
+ =========== ======================================
+ gid= Set the default group.
+ umask= Set the default umask.
+ mode= Set the default file permissions.
+ dmode= Set the default directory permissions.
+ uid= Set the default user.
+ bs= Set the block size.
+ unhide Show otherwise hidden files.
+ undelete Show deleted files in lists.
+ adinicb Embed data in the inode (default)
+ noadinicb Don't embed data in the inode
+ shortad Use short ad's
+ longad Use long ad's (default)
+ nostrict Unset strict conformance
+ iocharset= Set the NLS character set
+ =========== ======================================
+
+The uid= and gid= options need a bit more explaining. They will accept a
+decimal numeric value and all inodes on that mount will then appear as
+belonging to that uid and gid. Mount options also accept the string "forget".
+The forget option causes all IDs to be written to disk as -1 which is a way
+of UDF standard to indicate that IDs are not supported for these files .
+
+For typical desktop use of removable media, you should set the ID to that of
+the interactively logged on user, and also specify the forget option. This way
+the interactive user will always see the files on the disk as belonging to him.
+
+The remaining are for debugging and disaster recovery:
+
+ ===== ================================
+ novrs Skip volume sequence recognition
+ ===== ================================
+
+The following expect a offset from 0.
+
+ ========== =================================================
+ session= Set the CDROM session (default= last session)
+ anchor= Override standard anchor location. (default= 256)
+ lastblock= Set the last block of the filesystem/
+ ========== =================================================
