[PATCH] docs/core-api: memory-allocation: clarify when to use kzalloc_obj and kzalloc

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

Make it abundantly clear that in the most cases objects should be
allocated with kzalloc_obj() and buffers should be allocated with
kzalloc().

 Of course there are cases when other allocation APIs and different GFP
 flags must be used.
