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.
