From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The definition for single-argument kfree_rcu() has been removed, so that any further attempt to use it will result in a build error. Because of this build error, there is no longer any need for a special check in checkpatch.pl. Therefore, revert commit 1eacac3255495be7502d406e2ba5444fb5c3607c.
