    Impact: fix memory leak
    
    Error handling code following a kzalloc should free the allocated data.
    
    The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows:

    )

    statement S;
    expression E;
    identifier f,l;
    position p1,p2;
    expression *ptr != NULL;
    @@
    
    (
    if ((x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...)) == NULL) S
    |
    x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
    ...
    if (x == NULL) S
    )

    p2 << r.p2;

    print "* file: %s kmalloc %s return %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line)
