target: Explicitly clear ramdisk_mcp backend pages

Part of commit 4442dc8a92b8f9ad8ee9e7f8438f4c04c03a22dc upstream.

This patch changes rd_allocate_sgl_table() to explicitly clear
ramdisk_mcp backend memory pages by passing __GFP_ZERO into
alloc_pages().

This addresses a potential security issue where reading from a
ramdisk_mcp could return sensitive information, and follows what
>= v3.15 does to explicitly clear ramdisk_mcp memory at backend
device initialization time.
