rmap 27 memset 0 vma

Subject:  [PATCH] rmap 27 memset 0 vma
Date:  Sat, 8 May 2004 23:00:10 +0100 (BST)
Cc:  Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de>, <ak@suse.de>, <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>

We're NULLifying more and more fields when initializing a vma
(mpol_set_vma_default does that too, if configured to do anything).
Now use memset to avoid specifying fields, and save a little code too.

(Yes, I realize anon_vma will want to set vm_pgoff non-0, but I think
that will be better handled at the core, since anon vm_pgoff is
negotiable up until an anon_vma is actually assigned.)
