[PATCH 11/14] drivers/s390: Eliminate NULL test and memset afteralloc_bootmem

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

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.
