[PATCH v7 11/11] mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap

[Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

vmemmap_alloc_block() will no longer zero the block, so zero memory
at its call sites for everything except struct pages.  Struct page memory
is zero'd by struct page initialization.

Replace allocators in sprase-vmemmap to use the non-zeroing version. So,
we will get the performance improvement by zeroing the memory in parallel
when struct pages are zeroed.
