24 bytes seemed too much for just an additional function argument
so I've checked the source:

static inline void *devm_kzalloc(struct device *dev, size_t size, gfp_t gfp)
{
	return devm_kmalloc(dev, size, gfp | __GFP_ZERO);
}
static inline void *devm_kmalloc_array(struct device *dev,
				       size_t n, size_t size, gfp_t flags)
{
	if (size != 0 && n > SIZE_MAX / size)
		return NULL;
	return devm_kmalloc(dev, n * size, flags);
}
static inline void *devm_kcalloc(struct device *dev,
				 size_t n, size_t size, gfp_t flags)
{
	return devm_kmalloc_array(dev, n, size, flags | __GFP_ZERO);
}

The extra kcalloc() checks are inlined currently into each instance.
