Slab allocators: Replace explicit zeroing with __GFP_ZERO
kmalloc_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node() were not available in a zeroing
variant in the past. But with __GFP_ZERO it is possible now to do zeroing
while allocating.
Use __GFP_ZERO to remove the explicit clearing of memory via memset whereever
we can.
