[PATCH] drm/qxl: fix use-after-free and NULL pointer deref

When allocating a `qxl_release` structure with `kmalloc()`, the underlying
memory contained uninitialized garbage. Specifically, `release->base.flags`
(part of the embedded `dma_fence`) was not cleared.

This garbage in `base.flags` caused helper functions such as
`dma_fence_was_initialized()` to return true even for releases where the
fence was never actually initialized (e.g. via `dma_fence_init()`).

Consequently, during release cleanup in `qxl_release_free()`, the driver
attempted to put/free an uninitialized `dma_fence`, leading to refcount
underflows (`refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free`) and subsequent NULL
pointer dereferences in `dma_fence_signal_timestamp_locked()`.

Fix this by switching from `kmalloc()` to `kzalloc()` in `qxl_release_alloc()`,
ensuring all fields (including embedded fence flags) are properly zero-initialized
upon allocation, and remove redundant explicit zero-initializations.

The dumps in question:
 refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
