'new_free' has just been allocated by kmalloc() and is known to be not
NULL.
So this pointer can't be equal to a previous memory allocation.

We can make code little bit more readable by using min/max macros.
These were found with Coccinelle.

We have lot of unnecessary headers in these files. Remove them so that
we help compiler a little bit.

Capitalize comments and end with period for better reading.
Also function comments are now little more kernel-doc style. This way we
can easily convert them to kernel-doc style if we want. Note that these
are not yet complete with this style. Example function comments start
with /* and in kernel-doc style they start /**.
Use imperative mood in function descriptions.
Change words like ntfs -> NTFS, linux -> Linux.
Use "we" not "I" when commenting code.

Use kcalloc/kmalloc_array over kzalloc/kmalloc when we allocate array.
Checkpatch found these after we did not use our own defined allocation
wrappers.

Problem with these wrapper is that we cannot take off example GFP_NOFS
flag. It is not recomended use those in all places. Also if we change
one driver specific wrapper to kernel wrapper then it would look really
weird. People should be most familiar with kernel wrappers so let's just
use those ones.
Driver specific alloc wrapper also confuse some static analyzing tools,
good example is example kernels checkpatch tool. After we converter
these to kernel specific then warnings is showed.
Following Coccinelle script was used to automate changing.
