Pull coccinelle semantic patch updates from Julia Lawall:
- Update the semantic patches in the kernel that contain a URL for
Coccinelle with a URL that is currently valid (from myself).
- Add a semantic patch checking for unnecessary NULL tests on dev_{put,
hold} functions (from Ziyang Xuan, followed bt a modification from
myself).
- Drop a semantic patch that replaces 0/1 by booleans, as this change
was considered to be not worthwhile by some maintainers (from Steve
Rostedt).
- Extend an existing semantic patch with more checks for useless tests
on variables addresses (from Jérémy Lefaure).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
