Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Cocci spatch "pool_zalloc-simple" - v4.14-rc1

Use *_pool_zalloc rather than *_pool_alloc followed by memset with 0.

Found by coccinelle spatch "api/alloc/pool_zalloc-simple.cocci"

Run against version v4.14-rc1

Let me know when you as a maintainer are not interested in these kind of patches.
I can exclude you by path; e.g. all findings in "drivers/scsi" will never
be reported again by this semi-automatic program runs.
