From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall at lip6.fr>

Using kfree to free data allocated with devm_kzalloc causes double frees.

The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:

// <smpl>

expression x;

x = devm_kzalloc(...)
...
?-kfree(x);
// </smpl>

The kfrees were introduced in b761c0ca.
I sent this a few months ago, and I still think it should be applied...
