Coccinelle: Script to detect cast after memory allocation 

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.

//# kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
//# the casting as it is not required. The result in the patch case may
//#need some reformatting.
