Slab allocators: Replace explicit zeroing with __GFP_ZERO

Browse Source 
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.
