The cleanup infrastructure was added to barebox a while back in
commit 332e3542e5ed ("Port Linux __cleanup() based guard
infrastructure"), but without any DEFINE_FREE() handlers, so nothing
could be passed to __free() so far.
Let's start with malloc and kmalloc, so buffers can be tied to the
scope they are used in:
void *buf __free(free) = malloc(size);
void *foo __free(kfree) = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
[k]free_sensitive() looks up the usable size of the buffer before
zeroing it, so it gets the same test rather than just a NULL check
to avoid an error pointer dereference inside the allocator.
