3.16.39-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]> commit 33baefe5e72f17a6df378e48196cd8cada11deec upstream. krealloc() doesn't work always properly with __GFP_ZERO flag as expected. For clearing the reallocated area, we need to clear explicitly instead.
