At btrfs_clone_extent_buffer(), before allocating the pages array for the
new extent buffer we are calling memset() to zero out the pages array of
the extent buffer. This is pointless however, because the extent buffer
already has every element in its pages array pointing to NULL, as it was
allocated with kmem_cache_zalloc(). The memset() was introduced with
commit dd137dd1f2 ("btrfs: factor out allocating an array of pages"),
but even before that commit we already depended on the pages array being
initialized to NULL for the error paths that need to call
btrfs_release_extent_buffer().
So remove the memset(), it's useless and slightly increases the object
text size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
