[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v4 2/4] drm/i915: Zero fill the request structure

[John.C.Harrison at Intel.com]

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

There is a general theory that kzmalloc is better/safer than kmalloc, especially
for interesting data structures. This change updates the request structure
allocation to be zero filled.
