ocfs2_add_recovery_chunk() allocates a bitmap buffer of sb->s_blocksize
bytes using kmalloc() but only copies (ol_chunk_entries(sb) + 7) >> 3
bytes into it from the on-disk quota chunk. When the number of chunk
entries is not aligned to a long boundary (64 bits on 64-bit systems),
find_next_bit() reads uninitialized memory from the trailing bytes of
the last word in the bitmap.
Fix this by using kzalloc() to zero-initialize the entire bitmap
allocation, ensuring that any bits beyond the copied region are
clean zeros.

OK, but AFAICS it does not impact the functionality in any way because we
properly use:
for_each_set_bit(bit, rchunk->rc_bitmap, ol_chunk_entries(sb))
so the uninitialized bits are actually never used. This would be good to
stress in the changelog. Since this isn't really a performance sensitive
code I agree with the fix to make the checker happy anyway but I wanted to
make sure... So feel free to add:
