Clean up relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc rather than vmalloc and memset
We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes: - use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset. - remove redundant local variable 'array'. - declare local 'pa_size' as const. Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size.
