ubifs: Don't leak kernel memory to the MTD
When UBIFS prepares data structures which will be written to the MTD it ensues that their lengths are multiple of 8. Since it uses kmalloc() the padded bytes are left uninitialized and we leak a few bytes of kernel memory to the MTD. To make sure that all bytes are initialized, let's switch to kzalloc(). Kzalloc() is fine in this case because the buffers are not huge and in the IO path the performance bottleneck is anyway the MTD.
