[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: fix a potential information leaking bug

Coccinelle reports a path that the array "data" is never initialized.
The path skips the checks in the conditional branches when either
of callback functions, read_wave_vgprs and read_wave_sgprs, is not
registered. Later, the uninitialized "data" array is read
in the while-loop below and passed to put_user().

Fix the path by allocating the array with kcalloc().

The patch is simplier than adding a fall-back branch that explicitly
calls memset(data, 0, ...). Also it does not need the multiplication
1024*sizeof(*data) as the size parameter for memset() though there is
no risk of integer overflow.
