[PATCH 2/5] arch/avr32: Eliminate NULL test and memset afteralloc_bootmem

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory.  Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.

This was fixed using the following semantic patch.
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

expression E;
statement S;

E = \(alloc_bootmem\|alloc_bootmem_low\|alloc_bootmem_pages\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages\|alloc_bootmem_node\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node\|alloc_bootmem_pages_node\)(...)
... when != E
(
- BUG_ON (E == NULL);

)

... when != E
- memset(E,0,E1);
