[PATCH] gpu: nova-core: gsp: use KVVec::zeroed() for payload buffers

[Thorsten Blum]

Use KVVec::zeroed() instead of KVVec::from_elem() to allocate and
zero-initialize the command and continuation payload buffers.

Also use KVVec::zeroed() in the test helper read_payload().

      commit: 6148fb2fc4d3

The patch will appear in the next linux-next integration (typically within 24
hours on weekdays).

The patch is queued up for the upcoming merge window for the next major kernel
release.
