Its going in AFAIK. Need to resort my patches and then I will push it

kzalloc will continue to exist as a shorthand notation. So no problem with
continuing the conversion. kmalloc with GFP_ZERO may be more advantageous
in allocator type functionality where the caller may want to specify if
the allocated memory should be zeroed or not.
