Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Use kzalloc instead of empty_zero_page because of SPARC build error.

From: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@...bao.com>

Build rebot found this error:

config: make ARCH=sparc allyesconfig

All error/warnings:

fs/ext4/inline.c: In function 'ext4_create_inline_data':
fs/ext4/inline.c:268:19: error: 'empty_zero_page' undeclared (first use in this function)
fs/ext4/inline.c:268:19: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
fs/ext4/inline.c: At top level:
fs/ext4/inline.c:164:12: warning: 'ext4_read_inline_data' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

In sparc, it seems that we don't have empty_zero_page, so replace it
with kzalloc and kfree to make sparc happy and make any future architecture
build successfully by not using empty_zero_page at all.
