kmalloc misuse in nitro-code

[GoogleCodeExporter]

kmalloc does not initialize allocated memory. Scmon rule handling does not 
initialize the linked list fully, thus parts of scmon (rule handling) may 
corrupt, after rules have been flushed at least once.

Solution: 
a. use kzalloc(size_t, priority) where needed. (slow)
b. initialize memory areas ourselves (slower than kzalloc)

This bug report is just a stub, as I've already fixed affected code segments, 
and will commit them soonish.
