[PATCH v4 00/16] Add allocation function attributes

[Stephen Hemminger]

This patch series builds on the allocation function attributes
added in 24.11 release. These annotations will allow for compiler
to flag cases where a pointer is allocated with one function
but incorrectly passed to a different free function.

The current code base does this correctly now, but adding
attributes will catch future bugs, or errors in user programs.

For each of these patches, the free function prototype
needs to be reordered to be before the function attribute
of the allocator.

Checkpatch perl script falsely complains in a couple patches
because it doesn't really understand C syntax for attributes.

v4 - add release note
   - add rte_common.h to bitrate.h to fix build
