staging: rtl8723bs: os_dep: ioctl_linux: make use of kzalloc
This patch is a cleanup which replaces rtw_malloc(wep_total_len) with kzalloc() and removes the memset(). The rtw_malloc() does GFP_ATOMIC allocations when in_atomic() is true. But as the comments for in_atomic() describe, the in_atomic() check should not be used in driver code. The in_atomic() check is not accurate when preempt is disabled. In this code we are not in IRQ context and we are not holding any spin_locks so GFP_KERNEL is safe.
