[PATCH V2 3/4] cpufreq: use kzalloc() to allocate memory for cpufreq_frequency_table

[Viresh Kumar]

Few drivers are using kmalloc() to allocate memory for frequency tables and once
we have an additional field '.flags' in 'struct cpufreq_frequency_table', these
might become unstable. Better get these fixed by replacing kmalloc() by
kzalloc() instead.

Along with that we also remove use of .driver_data from SPEAr driver as it
doesn't use it at all. Also, writing zero to .driver_data is not required for
powernow-k8 as it is already zero.
