[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 23/28] 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. That also means it is no longer necessary to
explicitly clear the 'complete' field.
