checkpatch: add some new alloc functions to various tests Many new generic allocation functions like the kvmalloc family have been added recently to the kernel. The allocation functions test now includes: o kvmalloc and variants o kstrdup_const o kmemdup_nul o dma_alloc_coherent o alloc_skb and variants Add a separate $allocFunctions variable to help make the allocation functions test a bit more readable. Miscellanea: o Use $allocFunctions in the unnecessary OOM message test and add exclude uses with __GFP_NOWARN o Use $allocFunctions in the unnecessary cast test o Add the kvmalloc family to the preferred sizeof alloc style foo = kvmalloc(sizeof(*foo), ...)
