This name used on the in-body From: line must match who signs off
the patch below on Signed-off-by: line.

Let's not give such a misuse-prone API to consumers, then.  How
about doing something like this  instead?

As Documentation/CodingGuidelines says the API functions for
subsystem S should in general be called S_<something>, let's rename
allocate_alloc_state() to alloc_state_alloc(), get rid of the "just
clear" function and make it alloc_state_free_and_null() to do just
that.
