Ok, and in the case where it's an initial kmalloc, that will be done
with __GFP_ZERO so any remaining space in the allocation will already be
zeroed. That works.

I probably would have but it's not worth respinning over all by itself.

It might also be possible to do all of this without taking the
i_unsafe_lock twice, but that too probably won't make much difference.

I'll give these a closer look and probably merge into testing branch
later today unless I see a problem.
