Nam Cao 24cbfe18d5 rv: Merge struct rv_monitor_def into struct rv_monitor
Each struct rv_monitor has a unique struct rv_monitor_def associated with
it. struct rv_monitor is statically allocated, while struct rv_monitor_def
is dynamically allocated.

This makes the code more complicated than it should be:

  - Lookup is required to get the associated rv_monitor_def from rv_monitor

  - Dynamic memory allocation is required for rv_monitor_def. This is
    harder to get right compared to static memory. For instance, there is
    an existing mistake: rv_unregister_monitor() does not free the memory
    allocated by rv_register_monitor(). This is fortunately not a real
    memory leak problem, as rv_unregister_monitor() is never called.

Simplify and merge rv_monitor_def into rv_monitor.

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
