Julia Lawall fb3f8af4ff coccinelle: semantic patches related to devm_ functions (part 2)
devm_ functions allocate memory that is to remain allocated until the
device is detached.  This patch checks for freeing of such memory using
standard memory freeing functions.

/// Find uses of standard freeing functons on values allocated using devm_
/// functions. Values allocated using the devm_functions are freed when
/// the device is detached, and thus the use of the standard freeing
/// function would cause a double free.
/// See Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt for more information.
///
/// A difficulty of detecting this problem is that the standard freeing
/// function might be called from a different function than the one
/// containing the allocation function. It is thus necessary to make the
/// connection between the allocation function and the freeing function.
/// Here this is done using the specific argument text, which is prone to
/// false positives. There is no rule for the request_region and
/// request_mem_region variants because this heuristic seems to be a bit
/// less reliable in these cases.
