When RTE_MALLOC_DEBUG not configured, rte_zmalloc_socket() doens't
zero oute allocaed memory. Because memory are zeroed out when free
in malloc_elem_free(). But seems the initial allocated memory is
not zeroed out as expected.
This patch zero out initial allocated memory in
malloc_heap_add_memory().
With dpdk 20.11.5, "QLogic Corp. FastLinQ QL41000" probe triggers
this problem.
