Alex Waterman 50975dcf2a gpu: nvgpu: memset alloced buffers on free ...

When freeing kmalloc and vmalloc buffers memset them to zero
before freeing them with the kernel APIs. This is only done if
CONFIG_NVGPU_TRACK_MEM_USAGE is set since this adds obvious
overhead to the driver. However, it is an incredibly useful
debug tool, so it's nice to have.

This could be done by enabling Linux kernel configs as well,
but not all OSes may have such a feature so building it into
nvgpu may prove quite useful.
