[PATCH 5.3 80/95] mm/slub.c: init_on_free=1 should wipe freelist ptr for bulk allocations

[ Upstream commit 0f181f9fbea8bc7ea2f7e13ae7f8c256b39e254c ]

slab_alloc_node() already zeroed out the freelist pointer if
init_on_free was on. Thibaut Sautereau noticed that the same needs to
be done for kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), which performs the allocations
separately.

kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is currently used in two places in the kernel,
so this change is unlikely to have a major performance impact.

SLAB doesn't require a similar change, as auto-initialization makes the
allocator store the freelist pointers off-slab.
