Yann Droneaud 6dd9379e8f coccinelle: also catch kzfree() issues
Since commit 3ef0e5ba46 ('slab: introduce kzfree()'),
kfree() is no more the only function to be considered:
kzfree() should be recognized too.

In particular, kzfree() must not be called on memory
allocated through devm_*() functions.
