tracing/rb: Init the CPU mask on allocation
Before commit b32614c03413 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state machine")
the allocated cpumask was initialized to the mask of online or possible
CPUs. After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialization moved to
trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but the cpumask is allocated with alloc_cpumask()
and therefor has random content. As a consequence the cpu buffers are not
initialized and a later access dereferences a NULL pointer.
Use zalloc_cpumask() instead so trace_rb_cpu_prepare() initializes the
buffers properly.
