We used to wrap with no_free_ptr() for the return value from
memdup_user() with errors where the auto cleanup is applied. This was
a workaround because the initial implementation of kfree auto-cleanup
checked only NULL pointers.
Since recently, though, the kfree auto-cleanup checks with
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() (by the commit cd7eb8f83f ("mm/slab: make
__free(kfree) accept error pointers")), hence those workarounds became
superfluous. Let's drop them now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
