[PATCH V2] ALSA: oss: consolidate kmalloc/memset 0 call to kzalloc

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Sat Dec 19 2015 - 09:32:51 EST


This is an API consolidation only. The use of kmalloc + memset to 0
is equivalent to kzalloc.

V2: somehow managed to insert exactly the same line being removed
so this time actually do the intended kmalloc->kzalloc replacement

Found by coccinelle script (relaxed version of
scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci)

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y

Patch is against linux-next (localversion-next is -next-20150518)
