[PATCH v1] tools/vm/page-types.c: remove memset() in walk_pfn()

[Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>]

I found that page-types is very slow and my testing shows many timeout errors.
Here's an example with a simple program allocating 1000 thps.

  $ time ./page-types -p $(pgrep -f test_alloc)
  ...
  real    0m17.201s
  user    0m16.889s
  sys     0m0.312s

  $ time ./page-types.patched -p $(pgrep -f test_alloc)
  ...
  real    0m0.182s
  user    0m0.046s
  sys     0m0.135s

Most of time is spent in memset(), which isn't necessary because we check
that the return of kpagecgroup_read() is equal to pages and uninitialized
memory is never used. So we can drop this memset().
