As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

Match GFP_USER and optional __GFP_NOWARN allocations with
memdup_user.cocci rule.
Commit 6c2c97a24f09 ("memdup_user(): switch to GFP_USER") switched
memdup_user() from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_USER. In almost all cases it
is still a good idea to recommend memdup_user() for GFP_KERNEL
allocations. The motivation behind altering memdup_user() to GFP_USER:

According to the documentation[1] show() methods of device attributes
should return the number of bytes printed into the buffer. This is
the return value of scnprintf(). show() must not use snprintf()
when formatting the value to be returned to user space. snprintf()
returns the length the resulting string would be, assuming it all
fit into the destination array[2]. scnprintf() return the length of
the string actually created in buf. If one can guarantee that an
overflow will never happen sprintf() can be used otherwise scnprintf().

<title>scripts: add dummy report mode to add_namespace.cocci</title>

When running `make coccicheck` in report mode using the
add_namespace.cocci file, it will fail for files that contain
MODULE_LICENSE. Those match the replacement precondition, but spatch
errors out as virtual.ns is not set.

In order to fix that, add the virtual rule nsdeps and only do search and
replace if that rule has been explicitly requested.

In order to make spatch happy in report mode, we also need a dummy rule,
as otherwise it errors out with "No rules apply". Using a script:python
rule appears unrelated and odd, but this is the shortest I could come up
with.

Adjust scripts/nsdeps accordingly to set the nsdeps rule when run trough
`make nsdeps`.
