I think this was mentioned before, here we should rather use:

create_lmem(gt->i915, size,
                      I915_BO_ALLOC_CONTIGUOUS |
                      I915_BO_ALLOC_CPU_CLEAR);

That way we don't need to manually map and clear it here. Instead when
first allocating the pages (like with pin_pages), the clear will be
done for you.
