Multiple definitions of ARRAY_SIZE(arr)

[Alejandro Colomar <colomar.6.4.3@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I was reading through kernel code, and found that there are many
definitions of `ARRAY_SIZE(arr)` all around the kernel.

Is there a reason for all of those to exist, or should they all just
include <linux/kernel.h>?  If so, I would be happy to patch them.

Moreover, only the <linux/kernel.h> one is safe because of
`__must_be_array(arr)`.

Here's what I found:
