coccinelle informs about net/smc/af_smc.c:1770:10-11: WARNING: opportunity for kzfree/kvfree_sensitive Its not that kzfree() would help here, the memset() is done to prepare the buffer for another socket receive. Fix that warning message by reordering the calls, while at it eliminate the unneeded variable cclc2 and use sizeof(*buf) as above in the same function. No functional changes.
