Alexei Starovoitov 9de3e81521 bpf: Let free_all() return the number of freed elements.
Let free_all() helper return the number of freed elements.
It's not used in this patch, but helps in debug/development of bpf_mem_alloc.

For example this diff for __free_rcu():
-       free_all(llist_del_all(&c->waiting_for_gp_ttrace), !!c->percpu_size);
+       printk("cpu %d freed %d objs after tasks trace\n", raw_smp_processor_id(),
+       	free_all(llist_del_all(&c->waiting_for_gp_ttrace), !!c->percpu_size));

would show how busy RCU tasks trace is.
In artificial benchmark where one cpu is allocating and different cpu is freeing
the RCU tasks trace won't be able to keep up and the list of objects
would keep growing from thousands to millions and eventually OOMing.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
