rcu/kvfree: Add kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() and kfree_rcu_mightsleep()
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 adds
kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() and kfree_rcu_mightsleep(), which will replace
the single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu(), respectively.
This commit enables a series of commits that switch from single-argument
kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() to their _mightsleep() counterparts. Once
all of these commits land, the single-argument versions will be removed.
