From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@xxxxxxxxx>
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 removes the
single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() macros. Code that would have
previously used these single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() macros
should instead use kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() or kfree_rcu_mightsleep().
