It is already zeroed. This saves a few cycles when using devm_zalloc() and co. In the case of devres_alloc() (which calls __devres_alloc_node()), the compiler could remove the test and the memset() because it should be able to see that the __GFP_ZERO flag is set. So this would make the code both faster and smaller.
