Done, there are 5 of them in total:

proc: resume readdir after the last name it returned
-		cursor = kmalloc(sizeof(*cursor), GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
+		cursor = kmalloc_obj(*cursor, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);

proc: sysctl: resume readdir after the last name it returned
-		cursor = kmalloc(sizeof(*cursor), GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
+		cursor = kmalloc_obj(*cursor, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);

proc: keep the open files of an entry in an open node
-		dp->open = kzalloc(sizeof(*dp->open), GFP_KERNEL);
+		dp->open = kzalloc_obj(*dp->open);

proc: own the wait queue of an entry with a ->proc_poll()
-	on = kzalloc(sizeof(*on), GFP_KERNEL);
+	on = kzalloc_obj(*on);

proc: let procfs own the seq_file of seq_file entries
-	ops = kmalloc(sizeof(*ops), GFP_KERNEL);
+	ops = kmalloc_obj(*ops);
