RDMA/mlx4: use kzalloc() for the fast registration page list

Browse source

mlx4_alloc_priv_pages() allocates a zeroed, page-sized buffer for a
DMA-to-device page list. kmalloc() provides the required physical
contiguity, and a PAGE_SIZE allocation retains the alignment needed to
keep the list within one page.

Use kzalloc() for the buffer and kfree() on the error and teardown paths.
