Recognize __builtin_free as being equivalent to free when passed into
__attribute__((malloc ())), similar to how it is treated when it is
encountered as a call.  This fixes spurious warnings in glibc where
xmalloc family of allocators as well as reallocarray, memalign,
etc. are declared to have __builtin_free as the free function.

	gcc/analyzer/ChangeLog:
	* sm-malloc.cc
	(malloc_state_machine::get_or_create_deallocator): Recognize
	__builtin_free.

	gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
	* gcc.dg/analyzer/attr-malloc-1.c (compatible_alloc,
	compatible_alloc2): New extern allocator declarations.
	(test_9, test_10): New tests.

Looks good to me, thanks

Please could this be backported to all active branches?

Sure, it looks like only gcc11 needs this since malloc attribute 
matching seems recent.  David, I've never done a backport before, may I 
just cherry-pick, push and post a [committed] patch on list or does it 
need to go through review?

Thanks,
Siddhesh

In general it's fine to cherry-pick fixes from the mainline to a release 
branch that fix regressions, incorrect code and the like.

This doesn't fall into one of those categories -- but given this is 
limited to the analyzer, I think it's fine to cherry-pick into the 
release branch as long as David is OK with it as well.
