For architectures setting cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to true, which require

folio->flags to make icache coherent to dcache after clearing a user
folio, __GFP_ZERO using only clear_page() is not enough to zero user
folios and clear_user_(high)page() must be used.

The sentence above is rather long and unclear, perhaps split it into
multiple simpler sentences to clarify the intent ?

Otherwise, user data
will be corrupted.

Fix it by always clearing user folios with clear_user_(high)page() when
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() is true or cpu_icache_is_aliasing() is true.
Rename alloc_zeroed() to alloc_need_zeroing() and invert the logic to
clarify its intend.

I suspect the () around "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() || cpu_icache_is_aliasing()"
is not needed.
