/// Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation functions
/// like kmalloc, kzalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc.
///
//# This makes an effort to find cases of casting of values returned by
//# kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
//# 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.
