Subject: [PATCH 2/3] srcu: Remove superfluous sdp->srcu_lock_count zero filling

alloc_percpu() zeroes out the allocated memory. Therefore we can assume
the whole struct srcu_data to be clear after calling it, just like after
a static initialization. No need for a special treatment in the dynamic
allocation case.
