[PATCH 4.4 099/138] ALSA: hda: Fix krealloc() with __GFP_ZERO usage

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2016-08-18 14:05:24
Also in: lkml

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <redacted>

commit 33baefe5e72f17a6df378e48196cd8cada11deec upstream.

krealloc() doesn't work always properly with __GFP_ZERO flag as
expected.  For clearing the reallocated area, we need to clear
explicitly instead.
