One thing is that Coccinelle is way too slow on our codebase,
compared to the usual compilation, to run every time we make
changes.  Combined with the fact that our codebase is mostly clean,
the cycles feel huge waste of time only to find something small like
what this patch fixes.

That sadly discourages us from doing "make coccicheck" more often as
we should.

I _think_ Googlers have 1.1.1 on their linux boxes, so even if our
GitHub Actions CI is fixed to Ubuntu 18.04 and does not run more
recent Coccinelle, we theoretically should have been able to catch
it before it hit the public list, if "1.0.7 or later" was the
condition.  FWIW, "make coccicheck" with what I happen to have
notices it.

$ spatch version
spatch version 1.1.1 compiled with OCaml version 4.13.1
Flags passed to the configure script: --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-ocaml --enable-python --enable-opt
OCaml scripting support: yes
Python scripting support: yes
Syntax of regular expressions: PCRE

Anyway, the patch is correct.

Thanks, will queue.
