Christoph Lameter 81cda66261 Slab allocators: Cleanup zeroing allocations
It becomes now easy to support the zeroing allocs with generic inline
functions in slab.h.  Provide inline definitions to allow the continued use of
kzalloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc but remove other definitions of zeroing
functions from the slab allocators and util.c.
