From: HariKrishna Sagala <hariconscious@gmail.com>

Syzbot reported an uninit-value bug on at kmalloc_reserve for
commit 320475fbd590 ("Merge tag 'mtd/fixes-for-6.17-rc6' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux")'

Syzbot KMSAN reported use of uninitialized memory originating from functions
"kmalloc_reserve()", where memory allocated via "kmem_cache_alloc_node()" or
"kmalloc_node_track_caller()" was not explicitly initialized.
This can lead to undefined behavior when the allocated buffer
is later accessed.

Fix this by requesting the initialized memory using the gfp flag
appended with the option "__GFP_ZERO".
