drivers/dma: drop unnecesary memset

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

memset of 0 is not needed after kzalloc

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@@
expression x;
statement S;
@@

x = kzalloc(...);
if (x == NULL) S
... when != x
-memset(x,0,...);//
