scripts/coccinelle: Find PTR_ERR() to %pe candidates
Add a new Coccinelle script to identify places where PTR_ERR() is used
in print functions and suggest using the %pe format specifier instead.
For printing error pointers (i.e., a pointer for which IS_ERR() is true)
%pe will print a symbolic error name (e.g,. -EINVAL), opposed to the raw
errno (e.g,. -22) produced by PTR_ERR().
It also makes the code cleaner by saving a redundant call to PTR_ERR().
The script supports context, report, and org modes.
Example transformation:
printk("Error: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(ptr)); // Before
printk("Error: %pe\n", ptr); // After
