Clean up relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc rather than vmalloc and memset
We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by
using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes:
- use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset.
- remove redundant local variable 'array'.
- declare local 'pa_size' as const.
Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size.
