Currently we pass the artificial device pointer to the allocation helper in the case of SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS for passing the GFP flags. But all common cases are the allocations with GFP_KERNEL, and it's messy to put this in each place. In this patch, the memalloc core helper is changed to accept the NULL device pointer and it treats as the default mode, GFP_KERNEL, so that all callers can omit the complex argument but just leave NULL.

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.
