6fcd5f2c00 scripts/coccinelle: list iterator variable semantic patch
If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure.  Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator.

29a36d4dec scripts/coccinelle: improve the coverage of some semantic patches
This patch ensures that all semantic patches in the scripts/coccinelle
directory provide the report option.  Report messages that include line
numbers now have the line number preceded by "line" for easier subsequent
processing.

5c34050188 Coccinelle: Add iterators/list_entry_update.cocci
list_for_each_entry uses its first argument to get from one element of
the list to the next, so it is usually not a good idea to reassign it.
The first rule finds such a reassignment and the second rule checks
that there is a path from the reassignment back to the top of the loop.

afc48a82fa Coccinelle: Add iterators/itnull.cocci
Many iterators have the property that the first argument is always bound
to a real list element, never NULL.  False positives arise for some
iterators that do not have this property, or in cases when the loop
cursor is reassigned.  The latter should only happen when the matched
code is on the way to a loop exit (break, goto, or return).

4045159253 Coccinelle: Add iterators/fen.cocci
for_each_node iterators only exit normally when the loop cursor is
NULL, so there is no point to call of_node_put on the final value.
