Hi Denis,
When I added the function storvsc_suspend() several months ago, somehow I forgot
to remove the unnecessary memset(). Sorry!

The buffer is recreated in storvsc_resume() -> storvsc_connect_to_vsp() ->
storvsc_channel_init() -> stor_device->stor_chns = kcalloc(...), so I believe
the memset() can be safely removed.  Can you please make a v2 patch for it
and Cc my corporate email "decui" (in To)?

Thanks,
Dexuan
