    Sometimes, we need to write meta data to new allocated block address,
    then we will allocate a zeroed page in inner inode's address space, and
    fill partial data in it, and leave other place with zero value which means
    some fields are initial status.
    
    There are two inner inodes (meta inode and node inode) setting __GFP_ZERO,
    I have just checked them, for both of them, we can avoid using __GFP_ZERO,
    and do initialization by ourselves to avoid unneeded/redundant zeroing
    from mm.
