iomap: Use kzalloc to allocate iomap_page
[ Upstream commit a6901d4d148dcbad7efb3174afbdf68c995618c2 ]
We can skip most of the initialisation, although spinlocks still
need explicit initialisation as architectures may use a non-zero
value to indicate unlocked. The comment is no longer useful as
attach_page_private() handles the refcount now.
