Yep, good catch, this finds 18 instances thereof:

expression skb, len;
@@
-memset(skb_put(skb, len), 0, len);

I'd have thought it finds this, but indeed it doesn't; there's only one
instances this changes though:
@@
type t;
expression skb, len;
identifier p;
@@
t *p
- = skb_put(skb, len);
+ = skb_put_zero(skb, len);
-memset(p, 0, len);
and it can't figure out that it should remove the variable, without
much more work that's not really worth it for one instance :)
