Manuel Ebner 7c6d969d53 Documentation: adopt new coding style of type-aware kmalloc-family 
Update the documentation to reflect new type-aware kmalloc-family as
suggested in commit 2932ba8d9c ("slab: Introduce kmalloc_obj()
and family")

ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(*ptr), gfp);
 -> ptr = kmalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp);
ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(struct some_obj_name), gfp);
 -> ptr = kmalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp);
ptr = kzalloc(sizeof(*ptr), gfp);
 -> ptr = kzalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp);
ptr = kmalloc_array(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp);
 -> ptr = kmalloc_objs(*ptr, count, gfp);
ptr = kcalloc(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp);
 -> ptr = kzalloc_objs(*ptr, count, gfp);
