This is referring to a successful MOVE operation to note that zeroing @arch
in kvm_arch_create_memslot() won't leak memory.

It's for the failure path, the out_free label, which blindy calls kvfree()
and relies on un-allocated pointers being NULL. If @arch isn't zeroed, the
failure path will free metadata from the previous memslot.

No, because other architectures don't need to re-allocate new metadata on
MOVE and rely on __kvm_set_memory_region() to copy @arch from old to new,
e.g. see kvmppc_core_create_memslot_hv().

That being said, that's effectively what the x86 code looks like once
kvm_arch_create_memslot() gets merged into kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region().
