29a36d4dec scripts/coccinelle: improve the coverage of some semantic patches
This patch ensures that all semantic patches in the scripts/coccinelle
directory provide the report option.  Report messages that include line
numbers now have the line number preceded by "line" for easier subsequent
processing.

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.

43ba21b57a Coccinelle: Add free/kfree.cocci
Find a use after free.  Values of variables may imply that some
execution paths are not possible, resulting in false positives.
Another source of false positives are macros such as
SCTP_DBG_OBJCNT_DEC that do not actually evaluate their argument
