Subject: [PATCH] Coccinelle: ifnullfree: Trim the warning reported in report mode

Remove the unncessary part of the warning reported, in the report
mode, so that a single warning produced does not exceed more than line
and hence improve readability of the warnings produced in the subsequent
reports to a file.
