[PATCH] use kzalloc instead of malloc+memset

[Lion Vollnhals]

This patch against 2.6.13-mm3 replaces malloc and memset with kzalloc in drivers/base/class.c .
Furthermore this patch fixes actually two bugs:
  The memset arguments were occasionally swaped and therefore wrong.

Usage of kzalloc makes this code shorter and more bugfree.

Please apply.
