pci_pool_alloc() and pci_pool_zalloc() were removed by commit
88dee3b0ef ("PCI: Remove unused pci_pool wrappers").
So drop the pci_pool_alloc rules.
No functional change.

A cast on a call to an allocation function that is the body of a macro can
be useful, as it ensures tha the macro is used for allocating objects of
the right type. Add two new rules to ignore the macro case.

Commit dfd32cad14 ("dma-mapping: remove dma_zalloc_coherent()")
removed the definition of dma_zalloc_coherent() and also removed the
corresponding patch rule for replacing instances of dma_alloc_coherent +
memset in zalloc-simple.cocci (though left the report rule).
Add a new patch rule to remove unnecessary calls to memset after
allocating with dma_alloc_coherent. While we're at it, fix a couple of
typos.

dma_zalloc_coherent() is no longer needed as it has no users because
dma_alloc_coherent() already zeroes out memory for us.
The Coccinelle grammar rule that used to check for dma_alloc_coherent()
+ memset() is modified so that it just tells the user that the memset is
not needed anymore.

Add more memory allocating functions that are frequently used in the
kernel code to the existing list and remove the useless casts where
it is unnecessary.
But preserve those casts having __attribute__ such as __force, __iomem,
etc. which are used by Sparse in the static analysis of the code.
Also remove two blank lines at EOF.

There are many instances where memory is allocated using regular
allocator functions immediately followed by setting the allocated
memory to 0 value using memset.
We already have zero memory allocator functions to set the memory to
0 value instead of manually setting it using memset.
Therefore, use zero memory allocating functions instead of regular
memory allocators followed by memset 0 to remove redundant memset and
make the code more cleaner and also reduce the code size.

This script detects cases of use of cast for the value returned by
kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
the cast as it is not useful. This Coccinelle script replaces
drop_kmalloc_cast.cocci as it removes the casting in more limited
cases of kmalloc, kzalloc and kcalloc.
