Subject: [PATCH] wlcore: consolidate kmalloc + memset 0 into kzalloc

This is an API consolidation only. The use of kmalloc + memset to 0
is equivalent to kzalloc.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@...dl.org>

Found by coccinelle script (relaxed version of
scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci)

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig +
CONFIG_WL12XX=m (implies CONFIG_WLCORE=m)

Patch is against linux-next (localversion-next is -next-20151221)
