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.

+ * .sp - filled with user stack pointer
+ * .data.nr - filled with system call number or -1
+ * .data.args - filled with @maxargs system call arguments
+ * .data.instruction_pointer - filled with user PC
+ *
+ * If @target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with @info.data.nr
+ * set to the call's number and @info.data.args filled in with its
+ * arguments. Registers not used for system call arguments may not be available
+ * and it is not kosher to use &struct user_regset calls while the system
+ * call is still in progress. Note we may get this result if @target
+ * has finished its system call but not yet returned to user mode, such
+ * as when it's stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing.
+ *
+ * If @target is blocked in the kernel during a fault or exception,
+ * returns zero with *@info.data.nr set to -1 and does not fill in
+ * @info.data.args. If so, it's now safe to examine @target using
+ * &struct user_regset get() calls as long as we're sure @target won't return
+ * to user mode.
+ *
+ * Returns -%EAGAIN if @target does not remain blocked.
