Hi,
In mem_cgroup_alloc() we currently do either kmalloc() or vmalloc() then
followed by memset() to zero the memory. This can be more efficiently
achieved by using kzalloc() and vzalloc().
There's also one situation where we can use kzalloc_node() - this is
what's new in this version of the patch.
The original patch was:

Here's version 2. I'd appreciate it if someone could merge it, but I don't
know who that someone would be.
