mm/page_alloc.c: eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem
As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.
This was fixed using the following semantic patch.
