Ally Heev 01da5216c5 checkpatch: add uninitialized pointer with __free attribute check ...

Uinitialized pointers with __free attribute can cause undefined behavior
as the memory randomly assigned to the pointer is freed automatically when
the pointer goes out of scope.  add check in checkpatch to detect such
issues.
