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.

+ KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a dynamic detector of uses of
+ uninitialized values in the kernel. It is based on compiler
+ instrumentation provided by Clang and thus requires Clang to build.
+
+ An important note is that KMSAN is not intended for production use,
+ because it drastically increases kernel memory footprint and slows
+ the whole system down.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst> for more details.

+ help
+ If the compiler supports -fsanitize-memory-param-retval, KMSAN will
+ eagerly check every function parameter passed by value and every
+ function return value.
+
+ Disabling KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL will result in tracking shadow for
+ function parameters and return values across function borders. This
+ is a more relaxed mode, but it generates more instrumentation code and
+ may potentially report errors in corner cases when non-instrumented
+ functions call instrumented ones.
