[PATCH] habanalabs: remove redundant memset

From: Tom Rix
Date: Sat Jan 07 2023 - 13:50:09 EST


>From reviewing the code, the line
memset(kdata, 0, usize);
is not needed because kdata is either zeroed by
kdata = kzalloc(asize, GFP_KERNEL);
when allocated at runtime or by
char stack_kdata[128] = {0};
at compile time.
