This used to be hidden behind CONFIG_MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED, so userspace wouldn't actually ever see it be non-zero. While I had originally hoped to avoid hiding it, it looks like this conflicts with MAP_HUGE_SHIFT so I think it's safer to just keep this 0.
Architectures that want to define this can still override it. In fact, the Xtensa port already overrides it in a very similar manner to the previously broken one (but due to lots of conflicting opinions on how to solve this correctly, I'm just taking the easy way out and letting their arch maintainers deal with it -- sorry).
