recent discussion brought about the realization that it makes sense for
no_free_ptr() to have __must_check semantics in order to avoid leaking
the resource.
Additionally, add a few comments to clarify why/how things work.
All credit to Linus on how to combine __must_check and the
stmt-expression.

Use __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) to build:
- simple auto-release pointers using __free()
- 'classes' with constructor and destructor semantics for
scope-based resource management.
- lock guards based on the above classes.
