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.

+ help
+ This kernel module can be loaded in host kernel to accelerate
+ guest networking with virtio_net. Not to be confused with virtio_net
+ module itself which needs to be loaded in guest kernel.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will

+ help
+ This option allows vhost to support guests with a different byte
+ ordering from host while using legacy virtio.
+
+ Userspace programs can control the feature using the
+ VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN and VHOST_GET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctls.
+
+ This is only useful on a few platforms (ppc64 and arm64). Since it

+config VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_CONTROL
+ bool "Enable VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_CONTROL"
+ default y
+ help
+ This option enables two IOCTLs: VHOST_SET_FORK_FROM_OWNER and
+ VHOST_GET_FORK_FROM_OWNER. These allow userspace applications
+ to modify the vhost worker mode for vhost devices.
+
+ Also expose module parameter 'fork_from_owner_default' to allow users
+ to configure the default mode for vhost workers.
+
+ By default, `VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_CONTROL` is set to `y`,
+ users can change the worker thread mode as needed.
+ If this config is disabled (n),the related IOCTLs and parameters will
+ be unavailable.
+
+ If unsure, say "Y".
