[PATCH] Coccinelle: zalloc-simple: Delete function "kmem_cache_alloc" from SmPL rules

From: SF Markus Elfring
Date: Thu Feb 01 2018 - 04:36:31 EST


From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The deletion for a call of the function "memset" depends on
the specification that a size determination is passed by
the expression "E1".
The function "kmem_cache_alloc" was specified despite of the technical
detail that this function does not get a parameter passed which would
correspond to such a size information.

Thus remove it from the first two SmPL rules and omit the rule "r4".
