Remove the check for an existing b_pages array as this function is always
called right after allocating a buffer, so this can't happen.  Also
use kmem_zalloc to allocate the page array instead of doing a manual
memset gіven that the inline array is already pre-zeroed as part of the
freshly allocated buffer anyway.

This will not apply (and break) the bulk alloc patch I sent out - we
have to ensure that the b_pages array is always zeroed before we
call the bulk alloc function, hence I moved the memset() in this
function to be unconditional. I almost cleaned up this function in
that patchset....

Just doing this:

	bp->b_page_count = page_count;
	if (page_count > XB_PAGES) {
		bp->b_pages = kmem_alloc(sizeof(struct page *) * page_count,
					 KM_NOFS);
		if (!bp->b_pages)
			return -ENOMEM;
	} else {
		bp->b_pages = bp->b_page_array;
	}
	memset(bp->b_pages, 0, sizeof(struct page *) * page_count);

	return 0;

will make it work fine with bulk alloc.

Cheers,

Dave.
