I didn't really understand this comment. I ran the semantic patch and got
around 10 results, but it wasn't clear to me how to see which were false
positives.
I would suggest to extend the rule a little bit to include information
about where the allocation call is:
///
/// Structures allocated by crypto_alloc_* must be freed using crypto_free_*.
/// This finds freeing them by kfree.
///
// Confidence: Moderate

// Comments: There are false positives in crypto/ where they are actually freed.
// Keywords: crypto, kfree
// Options: --no-includes --include-headers
