I tried the following, which allows the kmap_local_page to be a
subexpression of the right side of the assignment.  It also allows either
order or the ptr initializations.  And it allows the pointer
initializations to be part of some larger statement, such as an if test.

@@
expression dst_ptr, src_ptr, dst_page, src_page, src;

I only found the occurrences in fs/hfsplus/bnode.c.

Coccinelle furthermore focuses only on the files that contain both memmove
and kmap_local_page.  These are:

HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c
HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/sdma.c
HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/net/sunrpc/xdr.c
HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/kernel/crash_core.c
HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/fs/hfs/bnode.c
HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/fs/udf/inode.c
HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/net/core/skbuff.c
HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/fs/hfsplus/bnode.c
HANDLING: /home/julia/linux/fs/erofs/decompressor.c

One could check them manually to see if memmove and kmap_local_page are
linked in some more direct way.
