Remove the redundant initialization.

I didn't look very thoroughly, but there are at least
a few more of these with kcalloc and kzalloc like

block/bsg-lib.c-        size_t sz = (sizeof(struct scatterlist) * req->nr_phys_segments);
block/bsg-lib.c-
block/bsg-lib.c-        BUG_ON(!req->nr_phys_segments);
block/bsg-lib.c-
block/bsg-lib.c-        buf->sg_list = kzalloc(sz, GFP_KERNEL);
block/bsg-lib.c-        if (!buf->sg_list)
block/bsg-lib.c-                return -ENOMEM;
block/bsg-lib.c:        sg_init_table(buf->sg_list, req->nr_phys_segments);
---
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-		sg = kcalloc(sg_per_table + chain_entry, sizeof(*sg),
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-				GFP_KERNEL);
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-		if (!sg)
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-			return -ENOMEM;
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c-
drivers/target/target_core_rd.c:		sg_init_table(sg, sg_per_table + chain_entry);
---
net/rds/rdma.c-		sg = kcalloc(nents, sizeof(*sg), GFP_KERNEL);
net/rds/rdma.c-		if (!sg) {
net/rds/rdma.c-			ret = -ENOMEM;
net/rds/rdma.c-			goto out;
net/rds/rdma.c-		}
net/rds/rdma.c-		WARN_ON(!nents);
net/rds/rdma.c:		sg_init_table(sg, nents);

Also in:
    sound/soc/sprd/sprd-pcm-dma.c
   sound/soc/sprd/sprd-pcm-compress.c
which are a bit tricky. It also uses some, IMHO, pointless devm_ functions.

Feel free to propose patches. I'm not focused on that at the moment.
