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);

b76d32422c kref: Improve documentation 
There is already kernel-doc written for many of the functions in kref.h
but it's not linked into the html docs anywhere.  Add it to kref.rst.

Improve the kref documentation by using the standard Return: section,
rewording some unclear verbiage and adding docs for some undocumented
functions.

Update Thomas' email address to his current one.

This document covers core kernel objects. So, add it into the core-api
book.
