Subject[PATCH] vhost: zero vhost_vsock memory on allocation
Date
This fixes OOPS when using under-initialized vhost_vsock object.

The code had a combo of kzalloc plus vmalloc as a fallback
initially, but it has been replaced by plain kvmalloc in
commit 6c5ab6511f71 ("mm: support __GFP_REPEAT in kvmalloc_node for >32kB")

OOPS is easy to reproduce with open/ioctl after trashing the RAM.
