xfs: assure zeroed memory buffers for certain kmem allocations
Guarantee zeroed memory buffers for cases where potential memory leak to disk can occur. In these cases, kmem_alloc is used and doesn't zero the buffer, opening the possibility of information leakage to disk. Use existing infrastucture (xfs_buf_allocate_memory) to obtain the already zeroed buffer from kernel memory. This solution avoids the performance issue that would occur if a wholesale change to replace kmem_alloc with kmem_zalloc was done.
