This is an API consolidation only. The use of kmalloc + memset to 0
here is equivalent to kzalloc.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@osadl.org>

V2: use kzalloc rather than kcalloc which was not an equivalent
    replacement as flaged by Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig +
CONFIG_STAGING=y, CONFIG_R8712U=m

Patch is against linux-next (localversion-next is -next-20160105)
