From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c: convert to using memset_l
zram was the motivation for creating memset_l(). Minchan Kim sees a 7%
performance improvement on x86 with 100MB of non-zero deduplicatable data:
perf stat -r 10 dd if=/dev/zram0 of=/dev/null
vanilla: 0.232050465 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.51% )
memset_l: 0.217219387 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.07% )
