Please also mention/describe that this also solves the bug you found.
As this fix a potential bug, it will be appropriate to add a "Fixes:"
line, just before "Signed-off-by" (meaning no newline between the two).
Fixes: 0fca931a6f21 ("samples/bpf: program demonstrating access to xdp_rxq_info")

Above is the correct use of Fixes + Signed-off-by.
Now you need to update/improve the description, to also
mention/describe that this also solves the bug you found.

This is not a fix, it's a conversion of one
correct code to a shorter one.

Read the code again Joe. There is a bug in the code that gets removed,
as it runs memset on the memory before checking if it was NULL.
IHMO this proves why is it is necessary to mention in the commit
message, as you didn't notice the bug in your code review.

I didn't review the code at all, just the commit message,
It's important to have commit messages that describe the
defect being corrected too.
Otherwise, a simple malloc/memset(0) vs zalloc equivalent
is not actually a defect.

No it isn't - the original code memset()s before it checks the return
from malloc(), so it's a potential NULL-pointer reference... Which the
commit message should explain, obviously :)

Memset on the pointer right after malloc can cause a
null pointer deference if it failed to allocate memory.
A simple fix is to replace malloc/memset with a calloc()
