Subject: [PATCH] megaraid_sas: Delete a redundant memory setting in
 megasas_alloc_cmds()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

The memory was set to zero already by a call of the function “kcalloc”.
Thus remove an extra call of the function “memset” for this purpose.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
