The function that is modified in this patch actually has another
opportunity.  That doesn't get transformed because with ... Coccinelle
matches the shortest path between what comes before and what comes after,
and so it only matches the first while loop.

You could sort of fix the problem by putting when any on the ...  That
allows anything in the path, including other while loops.

That though will mean that you will try to add two instances of the tmp
declaration after the declaration of I1.  Coccinelle allows adding only
one thing, unless the + is replaced by ++.  But if you do that, you will
get two decarations of tmp.

So either make the second change by hand, or let Coccinelle do it an
remove the second declaration of tmp by hand.
