6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 374908a15af4cd60862ebc51a6e012ace2212c76 upstream.
In commit 392e34b6bc22 ("kbuild: rust: remove the `alloc` crate and
`GlobalAlloc`") we stopped using the upstream `alloc` crate.
Thus remove a few leftover mentions treewide.
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # Also to 6.12.y after the `alloc` backport lands
