Memset() on the pointer right after malloc() can cause
a null pointer dereference if it failed to allocate memory.
Fix this by replacing malloc/memset with a single calloc().

Squashed all three same fixes into one and pushed to bpf, thanks!

For the record, this one is buggy, so I fixed it up as well.
