rcu/kvfree: Eliminate k[v]free_rcu() single argument macro

Browse Source 
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 removes the
single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() macros.  Code that would have
previously used these single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() macros
should instead use kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() or kfree_rcu_mightsleep().
