Tetsuo Handa c5e3a41187 kernel: Initialize cpumask before parsing
KMSAN complains that new_value at cpumask_parse_user() from
write_irq_affinity() from irq_affinity_proc_write() is uninitialized.

  [  148.133411][ T5509] =====================================================
  [  148.135383][ T5509] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in find_next_bit+0x325/0x340
  [  148.137819][ T5509]

  [  148.143823][ T5509] =====================================================

Since bitmap_parse() from cpumask_parse_user() calls find_next_bit(),
any alloc_cpumask_var() + cpumask_parse_user() sequence has possibility
that find_next_bit() accesses uninitialized cpu mask variable. Fix this
problem by replacing alloc_cpumask_var() with zalloc_cpumask_var().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
