Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Remove macros from proc handler converters
Replace the proc converter macros with "regular" functions. Though it
is more verbose than the macro version, it helps when debugging and
better aligns with coding-style.rst.
- General cleanup
Remove superfluous ctl_table forward declarations. Const qualify the
memory_allocation_profiling_sysctl and loadpin_sysctl_table arrays.
Add missing kernel doc to proc_dointvec_conv.
- Testing
This series was run through sysctl selftests/kunit test suite in

io_uring/bpf_filter: pass in expected filter payload size
It's quite possible that opcodes that have payloads attached to them,
like IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2 or IORING_OP_SOCKET, that these paylods
can change over time. For example, on the openat/openat2 side, the
struct open_how argument is extensible, and could be extended in the
future to allow further arguments to be passed in.
Allow registration of a cBPF filter to give the size of the filter as
seen by userspace. If that filter is for an opcode that takes extra
payload data, allow it if the application payload expectation is the
same size than the kernels. If that is the case, the kernel supports
filtering on the payload that the application expects. If the size
differs, the behavior depends on the IO_URING_BPF_FILTER_SZ_STRICT flag:
1) If IO_URING_BPF_FILTER_SZ_STRICT is set and the size expectation
differs, fail the attempt to load the filter.
2) If IO_URING_BPF_FILTER_SZ_STRICT isn't set, allow the filter if

io_uring/bpf_filter: move filter size and populate helper into struct
Rather than open-code this logic in io_uring_populate_bpf_ctx() with
a switch, move it to the issue side definitions. Outside of making this
easier to extend in the future, it's also a prep patch for using the
pdu size for a given opcode filter elsewhere.

io_uring/cancel: de-unionize file and user_data in struct io_cancel_data
By having them share the same space in struct io_cancel_data, it ends up
disallowing IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_FD|IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_USERDATA from
working. Eg you cannot match on both a file and user_data for
cancelation purposes. This obviously isn't a common use case as nobody
has reported this, but it does result in -ENOENT potentially being
returned when trying to match on both, rather than actually doing what
the API says it would.

blk-mq: use NOIO context to prevent deadlock during debugfs creation
Creating debugfs entries can trigger fs reclaim, which can enter back
into the block layer request_queue. This can cause deadlock if the
queue is frozen.
Previously, a WARN_ON_ONCE check was used in debugfs_create_files()
to detect this condition, but it was racy since the queue can be frozen
from another context at any time.
Introduce blk_debugfs_lock()/blk_debugfs_unlock() helpers that combine
the debugfs_mutex with memalloc_noio_save()/restore() to prevent fs
reclaim from triggering block I/O. Also add blk_debugfs_lock_nomemsave()
and blk_debugfs_unlock_nomemrestore() variants for callers that don't
need NOIO protection (e.g., debugfs removal or read-only operations).
Replace all raw debugfs_mutex lock/unlock pairs with these helpers,
using the _nomemsave/_nomemrestore variants where appropriate.
