slab_alloc_node() already zeroed out the freelist pointer if
init_on_free was on.
Thibaut Sautereau noticed that the same needs to be done for
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), which performs the allocations separately.

kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is currently used in two places in the kernel,
so this change is unlikely to have a major performance impact.

SLAB doesn't require a similar change, as auto-initialization makes the
allocator store the freelist pointers off-slab.
