Replace kmalloc and memset in get_undo_list with kzalloc

[Matt Helsley]

This patch simplifies get_undo_list() by dropping the unnecessary cast,
removing the size variable, and switching to kzalloc() instead of a
kmalloc() followed by a memset().

This cleanup was split then modified from Jes Sorenson's Task Notifiers
patches.
