[PATCH 3/3] apparmor: replace get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc()

multi_transaction_new() allocates memory with get_zeroed_page() and uses
it as struct multi_transaction.
The usage of that structure does not require struct page access and it is
better to allocate multi_transaction objects with kzalloc() that provides
better scalability and more debugging possibilities.
Replace use of get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc().
