[PATCH v1 2/3] mm: Zeroing hash tables in allocator

Add a new flag HASH_ZERO which when provided grantees that the hash table that is returned by alloc_large_system_hash() is zeroed. In most cases that is what is needed by the caller. Use page level allocator's __GFP_ZERO flags to zero the memory. It is using memset() which is efficient method to zero memory and is optimized for most platforms.
