Suren Baghdasaryan 3b0ba54d5f mm: add comments for allocation helpers explaining why they are macros
A number of allocation helper functions were converted into macros to
account them at the call sites.  Add a comment for each converted
allocation helper explaining why it has to be a macro and why we typecast
the return value wherever required.  The patch also moves
acpi_os_acquire_object() closer to other allocation helpers to group them
together under the same comment.  The patch has no functional changes.

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 reStructuredText 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.
