Cover letter [PATCH v2 0/3] Transform kmalloc calls to kzalloc.

[Changes in v2]
In version v2, I break the original patchset into two. One for kmalloc -> k{z,c}alloc and other for kzalloc -> kcalloc. This patchset includes patches for kmalloc to kzalloc conversion.

[original cover letter]
This patchset changes some kzalloc calls to kcalloc and kmalloc to kzalloc.

The semantic patch used to make this change is:
