[PATCH 3/4] perf tools: Use calloc() were applicable

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Date: Wed Apr 01 2026 - 17:09:36 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of using zalloc(nr_entries * sizeof_entry) that is what calloc()
does.

In some places where linux/zalloc.h isn't needed, remove it, add when
needed and was getting it indirectly.
