Hi,

I'd prefer to have devm_kzalloc_flex() be added before continuing with 
changes like this. Last time I mentioned it, you washed your hands about 
adding it and moved the responsability to linux-hardening folks. (In case 
you didn't know, devm_kzalloc_flex() could be added even by you!)

Alternatively, I might accept a good explanation why that cannot be done 
or is not a good idea to have consistent interface for non-devm vs devm?
