[PATCH] x86, olpc: Eliminate BUG_ON and memset after alloc_bootmem

[Himangi Saraogi]

alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return
a zeroed region of memory.  Thus a BUG_ON the NULL test or memset after
calls to these functions is unnecessary.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for making the change:

@@
expression E;
statement S;
@@

E = \(alloc_bootmem\|alloc_bootmem_low\|alloc_bootmem_pages\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages\)(...)
... when != E
- BUG_ON (E == NULL);

@@
expression E,E1;
@@

E = \(alloc_bootmem\|alloc_bootmem_low\|alloc_bootmem_pages\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages\)(...)
... when != E
- memset(E,0,E1);
