Subject: [PATCH 3/6] ALSA: seq: oss: use kzalloc

Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc + memset.

The semantic patch that makes this change is:
(https://coccinelle.gitlabpages.inria.fr/website/)

//<smpl>
@@
expression res, size, flag;
@@
- res = kmalloc(size, flag);
+ res = kzalloc(size, flag);
  ...
- memset(res, 0, size);
//</smpl>
