checkpatch: add some new alloc functions to various tests

Browse Source 
Many new generic allocation functions like the kvmalloc family have been
added recently to the kernel.

The allocation functions test now includes:

o kvmalloc and variants
o kstrdup_const
o kmemdup_nul
o dma_alloc_coherent
o alloc_skb and variants

Add a separate $allocFunctions variable to help make the allocation
functions test a bit more readable.

Miscellanea:

o Use $allocFunctions in the unnecessary OOM message test and
  add exclude uses with __GFP_NOWARN
o Use $allocFunctions in the unnecessary cast test
o Add the kvmalloc family to the preferred sizeof alloc style
  foo = kvmalloc(sizeof(*foo), ...)
