This was a remnant from porting kernel code to barebox.
While being uncritical so far, this will now cause a compiler error
since kzalloc is not a define but a static inline function.

As the kzalloc() 'mode' argument was ignored before and still will be,
it is safe to remove the parameter.

Just as a suggestion, maybe just replace this call with xzalloc,
getting rid of meaningless GFP_KERNEL as well, and dropping the OOM
check below?

Since kzalloc() is not a macro to xzalloc() anymore but uses calloc() instead,
which actually may return NULL, I am not sure if this is a better approach.
But I am not that deep into the topic of differences between *alloc calls to
definitely decide that.
