Replaced kzalloc() with kmalloc(), there is no need for zeroed-out
memory for simple void *kbuf.

There is no need for zeroed-out memory because it's immediately
overwritten by copy_from_iter...

Also if you don't mind please wait a week until the fixes get merged
back into net-next and then repost. Otherwise this patch will not apply
