[PATCH v3 1/3] mm/sparse: optimize sparse_index_alloc

[Gavin Shan <shangw@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME, the two level of memory section
descriptors are allocated from slab or bootmem. When allocating
from slab, let slab/bootmem allocator to clear the memory chunk.
We needn't clear that explicitly.
