malloc-simple: Make calloc() return zeroed memory
The 0.9.31 release included a change to malloc-simple to request uninitialized memory from noMMU kernels. Unfortunately, the corresponding calloc() code assumed that memory returned by malloc() was already zeroed, which leads to all kinds of nastiness. Signed-off-by: Steven J.
