powerpc: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem

As noted by Akinobu Mita in commit b1fceac2 ("x86: remove unnecessary
memset and NULL check after alloc_bootmem()"), alloc_bootmem and
related functions never return NULL and always return a zeroed region
of memory.  Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these functions
is unnecessary.

This was fixed using the following semantic patch.

)
