[PATCH 9/14] arch/sparc64: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory.  Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.

This was fixed using the following semantic patch.
