[ Upstream commit 608723c41cd951fb32ade2f8371e61c270816175 ]

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.
