[PATCH] PCI: hv: fix alloc_cast.cocci warnings

[PATCH] PCI: hv: fix alloc_cast.cocci warnings

[kbuild test robot]

From: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com>

drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.c:2925:9-32: WARNING: casting value returned by memory allocation function to (struct hv_pcibus_device *) is useless.

 Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation functions
 like kmalloc, kzalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc.

Semantic patch information:
 This makes an effort to find cases of casting of values returned by
 kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
 kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
 the casting as it is not required. The result in the patch case may
 need some reformatting.
