[PATCH] PCI, x86: clear initial value for root info resources

From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
Date: 2012-09-19 17:49:15
Also in: lkml

Found one system one root bus hot remove get panic.
Panic happens when try to release hostbridge resource.

It turns out that resource get reject during put into resource tree
because of conflicts.
Also that resource parent pointer have random value.

That invalid value cause it pass through check __release_pci_root_info
and panic in release_resource.

Try to use kzalloc instead.
