Do you mind sharing which tree you are looking at? I checked both
6.3-rc1 and linux-next.
Your grep returned:
kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c: kvfree_rcu(inst);
kernel/trace/trace_probe.c: kvfree_rcu(link);
lib/test_vmalloc.c: kvfree_rcu(p);
mm/list_lru.c: * We need kvfree_rcu() here. And the walking of the list
net/core/pktgen.c: /* Don't need rcu_barrier() due to use of kfree_rcu() */
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c:
kvfree_rcu(orig_sock_table);
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c: kfree_rcu(cur);
net/mac802154/scan.c: kfree_rcu(request);
net/mac802154/scan.c: kfree_rcu(request);
