profile: Use vzalloc() rather than vmalloc() & memset()

There's no reason to memset() manually when we have vzalloc().

Clean up relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc rather than vmalloc and memset

We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by
using vzalloc.  The patch makes these changes:

 - use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset.
 - remove redundant local variable 'array'.
 - declare local 'pa_size' as const.

Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size.

percpu: zero memory more efficiently in mm/percpu.c::pcpu_mem_alloc()

Don't do vmalloc() + memset() when vzalloc() will do.

tj: dropped unnecessary temp variable ptr.

memcg: use [kv]zalloc[_node] rather than [kv]malloc+memset

In mem_cgroup_alloc() we currently do either kmalloc() or vmalloc() then
followed by memset() to zero the memory.  This can be more efficiently
achieved by using kzalloc() and vzalloc().  There's also one situation
where we can use kzalloc_node() - this is what's new in this version of
the patch.

sys_swapon: use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc/memset

This patch series refactors the sys_swapon function.

sys_swapon is currently a very large function, with 313 lines (more than
12 25-line screens), which can make it a bit hard to read. This patch
series reduces this size by half, by extracting large chunks of related
code to new helper functions.

One of these chunks of code was nearly identical to the part of
sys_swapoff which is used in case of a failure return from
try_to_unuse(), so this patch series also makes both share the same
code.

As a side effect of all this refactoring, the compiled code gets a bit
smaller (from v1 of this patch series):

   text       data        bss        dec        hex    filename
  14012        944        276      15232       3b80    mm/swapfile.o.before
  13941        944        276      15161       3b39    mm/swapfile.o.after

This patch:

Use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc/memset.

hecubafb: add module_put on error path in hecubafb_probe()

In hecubafb_probe(), after a successful try_module_get, vzalloc may
fail and make the hecubafb_probe return, but the module is not put on
this error path.

This patch adds an exit point that calls module_put in such situation.
