[PATCH] sched: use zalloc_cpumask_var for rootdomain cpumasks

[Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com>]

In kernel/sched/core.c, there is:

static int init_rootdomain(struct root_domain *rd)
{
	memset(rd, 0, sizeof(*rd));

	if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&rd->span, GFP_KERNEL))
		goto out;
	if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&rd->online, GFP_KERNEL))
		goto free_span;
	if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&rd->dlo_mask, GFP_KERNEL))
		goto free_online;
	if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&rd->rto_mask, GFP_KERNEL))
		goto free_dlo_mask;

In the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case, there doesn't appear to be anything
clearing the cpumasks. I think these should be zalloc_cpumask_var() calls.

I noticed this while debugging a memory corruptor in unrelated code which
cleared the span cpumask and triggered a BUG in the scheduler. I had turned
on CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and looking at the span cpumask at various points
during early boot and saw that the mask was filled with POISON_FREE bytes
before the secondary cores started coming up and setting their cpu bits in
the mask.
