Subject: [PATCH 0/3] replace few other kvmalloc open coded variants

Hi,
while doing something unrelated I've noticed these few open coded
kvmalloc variants so let's replace them with the library function. Each
patch can be merged separately so I hope I've CCed proper people. This
is based on the current linux-next.

Shortlog
Michal Hocko (3):
      fs/file: replace alloc_fdmem with kvmalloc alternative
      lib/rhashtable.c: use kvzalloc in bucket_table_alloc when possible
      netfilter: use kvmalloc xt_alloc_table_info
