Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: zero-initialize quota recovery bitmap allocation
ocfs2_add_recovery_chunk() allocates rc_bitmap with kmalloc,
leaving the bitmap uninitialized. Bits beyond the actual quota
entries contain stale heap data, which KMSAN detects as
uninit-value during recovery.
Replace kmalloc with kzalloc to ensure the bitmap is zeroed.
