[PATCH 6.18 0/4] Backport the one-arg k*alloc_obj() APIs

Two of my recent commits failed to build when cherry-picked to 6.18
solely because of their use of kzalloc_obj(size).  The two-argument
kzalloc_obj(size, gfp) was already backported to 6.18, but not the
one-argument "overload".

It seems likely that this is a very common issue.  These are core kernel
APIs that almost everyone uses.

Thus, this series adds the single-argument version to 6.18, in a
backport-friendly way by omitting the flex counter support.

After this is applied, dd015b566d50 and 696c030e1e34 will be clean
cherry-picks, so please cherry-pick those afterwards.

Kees Cook (1):
  slab: Introduce kmalloc_flex() and family

Linus Torvalds (2):
  add default_gfp() helper macro and use it in the new *alloc_obj()
    helpers
  default_gfp(): avoid using the "newfangled" __VA_OPT__ trick

Randy Dunlap (1):
  slab: recognize @GFP parameter as optional in kernel-doc
