These days we have kvzalloc() so we can delete CODA_ALLOC().
I made a couple related changes in coda_psdev_write().  First, I added
some error handling to avoid a NULL dereference if the allocation
failed.  Second, I used kvmalloc() instead of kvzalloc() because we copy
over the memory on the next line so there is no need to zero it first.
