c9512fd032 kobject documentation: remove default_attrs information
Since commit aa30f47cf6 ("kobject: Add support for default attribute
groups to kobj_type") we have been encouraging the use of default_groups
instead of default_attrs, so reflect that information in the
documentation as well so that no new users get added while the kernel is
converted over to not use this field anymore.

cf6299b610 kobject: remove kset from struct kset_uevent_ops callbacks
There is no need to pass the pointer to the kset in the struct
kset_uevent_ops callbacks as no one uses it, so just remove that pointer
entirely.

ee6d3dd4ed driver core: make kobj_type constant.
This way instances of kobj_type (which contain function pointers) can be
stored in .rodata, which means that they cannot be [easily/accidentally]
modified at runtime.

92f5e6b54e kobject: documentation: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
