mm: zero hash tables in allocator
Add a new flag HASH_ZERO which when provided grantees that the hash table
that is returned by alloc_large_system_hash() is zeroed. In most cases
that is what is needed by the caller. Use page level allocator's
__GFP_ZERO flags to zero the memory. It is using memset() which is
efficient method to zero memory and is optimized for most platforms.
