[ Upstream commit 608723c41cd951fb32ade2f8371e61c270816175 ]
The kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() APIs are hazardous in that if you forget the second argument, it works, but might sleep. This sleeping can be a correctness bug from atomic contexts, and even in non-atomic contexts it might introduce unacceptable latencies. This commit therefore adds kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() and kfree_rcu_mightsleep(), which will replace the single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu(), respectively.
This commit enables a series of commits that switch from single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() to their _mightsleep() counterparts. Once all of these commits land, the single-argument versions will be removed.
