IB/hfi1: Use kzalloc() for mmu_rb_handler allocation
[ Upstream commit ca5f72568e034e1295a7ae350b1f786fcbfb2848 ]
The code currently assumes that the mmu_notifier struct
embedded in mmu_rb_handler only contains two fields.
There are now extra fields:
struct mmu_notifier {
struct hlist_node hlist;
const struct mmu_notifier_ops *ops;
struct mm_struct *mm;
struct rcu_head rcu;
unsigned int users;
};
Given that there in no init for the mmu_notifier, a kzalloc() should
be used to insure that any newly added fields are given a predictable
initial value of zero.
