Remove __GFP_ZERO from mempool_alloc() in drbd_req_new() and properly
initialize it to 0.

You should add it to mempool instead, avoid having this issue show up for other folks as well. It'd be trivial to do. Normal ->alloc() should honor __GFP_ZERO, just do the same manually for removing an item from the internal pool.
