Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization

lockdep_init_map() only initializes parts of lockdep_map and triggers
kmemcheck warning when it is copied as a whole.  There isn't anything
to be gained by clearing selectively.  memset() the whole structure
and remove loop for ->class_cache[] clearing.
