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.

+ bool "Generate some entropy during boot and runtime"
+ help
+ By saying Y here the kernel will instrument some kernel code to
+ extract some entropy from both original and artificially created
+ program state. This will help especially embedded systems where
+ there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally. The cost
+ is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
+ irq processing.
+
+ Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
+ secure!

+ This plugin was ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:
