[PATCH] swiotlb: fix alloc_cast.cocci warnings

From: kernel test robot
Date: Sat Nov 20 2021 - 03:34:05 EST


From: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>

kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:389:15-33: WARNING: casting value returned by memory allocation function to (struct io_tlb_area *) is useless.

Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation functions
like kmalloc, kzalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc.

Semantic patch information:
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.
