backports: Use Coccinelle --relax-include-path

This will provide wider coverage on include paths for our Coccinelle
rule interpretation, at a very lower cost incurred, about 1 second,
for code generation. Coccinelle makes an effort to infer types but
with a wider coverage of header files it can do a better job at that.
You want to use both --recursive-includes (which we already enable) and
--relax-include-path to get the most possible type information.

You will want at least Coccinelle 1.0.0-rc20 which had an increase
of performance of over 30% when using both  --recursive-includes and
--relax-include path.
