Seems if we pass gfp | __GFP_ZERO to krealloc it will end up zeroing the
slab for us before doing the memcpy.
I didn't follow all paths but in slab_alloc_node it will end up calling:
        if (unlikely(gfpflags & __GFP_ZERO) && object)
                memset(object, 0, s->object_size);
So I would expect that other paths also do it.
